New Microorganisms Discovered In Earth's Stratosphere
Ya, that's right, life living up in the stratosphere! Apparently they are highly resistant to UV radiation. Apparently the scientists had done the experiment previously, but wanted to repeat it to ensure ground-based contamination was not the source of detections.
Now, if these little guys can live more than 20 km above the surface of the Earth with such extreme temperatures and radiation exposure, life is definitely possible on other planets.
Very cool.
