New JCMT-Venus observations have recovered the candidate phosphine signal with far more data, but overlapping teams, instrumental systematics and unknown chemistry keep the result contested.
The phosphine argument at Venus did not end when the original result was challenged. Reprocessed ALMA observations, a disputed reanalysis of SOFIA data and a far larger monitoring programme with the …
