How Earth May Have Been Seeding Venus with Life for Billions of Years A recent study has shed new light on the theory of panspermia, which suggests that life can be transferred between planets via asteroids and comets.
Researchers from The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHUAPL) and Sandia National Laboratories have developed a mathematical framework to estimate the likelihood of life being transferred from Earth to Venus.
The concept of panspermia is not new, but its implications become more complex when applied to our nearest planetary neighbors.
