flight to test panspermia theory | |
|
|
||
|
::
|
The theory that microbial life once came
to Earth on a meteorite from another planet, *the
panspermia theory*, will be tested on July 26 when a NASA rocket carries
into space two types of bacteria (Archaea and Deinococcus radiodurans).
Scientists will study resistance of thermophilic microorganisms to space conditions and the direct effects on living cells of the sun's extreme ultraviolet, or EUV. |
