You have to see this! Scientists have just opened a sample from space and discovered BACTERIA... 🤯 An incredible discovery has shocked the scientific world: In a sample from the asteroid Ryugu, which was brought to Earth by the Japanese space probe Hayabusa2, researchers discovered microorganisms! Life in space? What initially sounds like the ultimate proof of extraterrestrial life turns out to be even more fascinating upon closer inspection. This discovery shows how resilient and adaptable life on Earth really is - even on material collected over 200 million kilometers away.
But what does this mean for the search for life in the universe? Can we even be sure that such finds are not simply contamination by terrestrial microbes? And what do these samples tell us about the origins of our solar system and perhaps even of life on Earth?
Stay tuned for the full story - including exciting details about the Hayabusa2 mission, the challenges of sample return, and the implications for future space missions. This video will bring you closer to the amazing world of asteroid research!
