"Venus is a “Russian planet,” the head of Russia’s state space agency said Tuesday following

The research, published in the journal Nature Astronomy on Monday, details British and
American scientists’ discovery of phosphine gas in Venus’ clouds and puts forward possible
theories for its origin, including that of extraterrestrial life."
