NASA finds Earth microbes could survive on the Moon
NASA scientists discovered that microbes brought by astronauts could survive in cold, shadowed areas around the Moon's South Pole. These findings might complicate future lunar exploration aimed at detecting pristine lunar chemistry. Some niches are as small as a footprint, while one fungus can withstand limited sunlight exposure.
