From 2020:

Astronomers may have found a signature of life on Venus

Evidence indicates phosphine, a gas associated with living organisms, is present in the habitable region of Venus’ atmosphere.

K2-18b is 17.6 times the volume of Earth, and is probably tidally locked in its 33-day orbit around a red dwarf star, K2-18, which is the smallest kind of star. Plasma flares and far-UV radiation emitted by the K2-18 star could cause serious effects or loss of the atmosphere for a planet orbiting near the K2-18.

After the publicity and hype has died down, other reasons are likely to be found for the alleged presence of the chemicals on the planet.

“On Earth, both molecules are only produced by microbial life, typically marine phytoplankton.”

Call me in a few million years after they drag themselves out of the sea and sprout legs. ;)
