If life is proven to exist on Venus, it would be really exciting. Besides the obvious reason to be excited there's also my thought: If in this planetary system two planets out of ~~9~~8 have life on them, then that would mean that life isn't as rare as we conceived it to be.

Edit: Had the tab open for a while without refreshing before posting, so I didn't see the comment that says it's just solar wind. :(
