>A Russian scientist claims to have discovered life on Venus after analysing photographs taken by a Soviet probe that landed on the planet's surface 30 years ago.

>The pictures - taken by the probe Venus-13 in 1982 - have been re-examined by Leonid Ksanfomaliti of the Space Research Institute at Russia's Academy of Sciences.

>Ksanfomaliti said the images showed a scorpion-shaped body, a disc and a 'black flap,' which apparently moved as the probe's camera records the scene.

What is it? You can clearly see two shapes that look like 'flippers' as such and then obviously a body if it is a lifeform.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 23 16:45:08 2012 No.4284532 Bullshit. You can't claim life based on a photo alone, no matter how complex the apparent structure. You need to show the phenomenon has a physiology, ability to reproduce, etc. And it's a shitty, blurry, photograph at that.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 23 16:59:52 2012 No.4284577 There is NEARLY DEFINITIVE evidence that there was life on mars at some point. Why don't we say there was life on mars? Oh yea, because science doesn't take things for granted just because it seems like it.
