Light. Truth. Clarity.
Researchers have demonstrated that the resilient bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans can survive extreme conditions similar to those created by asteroid impacts on Mars. In laboratory tests simulating pressures of up to 3 GPa, the microbe showed a remarkable ability to endure, suggesting that life could potentially travel between planets.
By simulating the crushing shock of a Mars asteroid impact, researchers found that a hardy bacterium can survive extreme ejection pressures. The discovery strengthens the idea that life could travel between planets inside impact debris. .com
