Found traces of plankton in the universe

Scientists have discovered traces of living organisms that live on the surface of the International Space Station (ISS).

These organisms are found when scientists are conducting a cleaning process outside the surface of the International Space Station (ISS). Although not an alien, scientists do not know how they can appear on the surface of the space station, nearly 330km above the ground.

Mirror quoted Vladimir Solovyev, head of Russia's ISS space station, saying: "After conducting the experiment, we found traces of plankton and very small particles on the surface of the lights. This finding needs further study. "

These organisms not only exist but can also grow in difficult conditions such as lack of oxygen, weightlessness, extreme temperatures and tolerance to radiation from the universe. Mr. Solovyev also confirmed that the finding is particularly important for long flights into space, although he himself cannot explain why they may appear on the ISS.

Traces of plankton were also not found in Kazakhstan's Baikanour Cosmodrome, where ISS was launched into space.

"It is possible that they follow the air currents that rise, cling and grow on the surface of ISS," Solovyev said.

Plankton are usually small creatures, including jellyfish, floating or able to swim weakly in freshwater or ocean.
