Although few expect to find life on the face of either planet (atmospheric pressure on Jupiter's still-unfathomed surface would probably be too high, and temperatures at the surface of Venus are more than 800° F., hot enough to melt lead) there is a possibility that organisms may have evolved at levels of the atmospheres where temperatures and pressures are moderate. The irrepressible Sagan has speculated that one form of Jovian life might be large, ballasted, gasbag-like creatures that swallow up organic matter as they float through...
