No longer a movie, the risk of alien bugs coming to earth is real

Bacteria or germs in other planets may cling to the spacecraft or hide in specimens brought to Earth, and may threaten life on Earth.

Researchers are expecting the spacecraft's journeys to bring about valuable specimens to discover life outside the globe, along with a warning about the risk of alien "bugs" attacking humans.

According to the prospect of appearing in Hollywood films about a horror theme combining science fiction, cosmic virus species could be a threat to the immune system of the human body, bringing a risk of flare-ups. outbreak of disease caused many deaths. According to Irish News, soil and ice samples taken by Jupiter or Moon Europa's cruise ship need to be permanently isolated in laboratories to eliminate this risk.

Dr. John Rummel, the chief scientist of Seti Institute in Mountain View (California, USA), presented a concern about the risk of infection from the universe before the crowd of scholars and experts present at the association. Annual Meeting of the American Association for Scientific Advancement (AAAS) in Boston (USA) in February. He said that spatial pathogens could easily survive in space trips because of them. Protected against the attack of solar ultraviolet radiation. Therefore, it is important to isolate materials collected from extraterrestrial planets. "If we bring the specimens from Europa or Mars to the ground, we need to control them in a closed environment until the test results show that there is no possibility of danger to life, or continue to stifle. indefinitely in the research process , " said Dr. Rummel.

Scientists say Europa is containing a salty ocean ocean beneath the crust, which may be harboring life in a simple form. Meanwhile, a strip of ancient valley on Mars may have appeared salty groundwater, and is now becoming one of the main goals in the search for extraterrestrial life.

"If exposed to harsh radiation environments around Europa, bacteria or viruses can be destroyed in a few hours, days or weeks, but the protected organisms inside the spacecraft will probably still live. until silicon chips remain active, " Dr Rummel said. Life in the form of bacteria is quite immune in cold, dry environments.

In addition, experts are warned about the risk of systems, equipment or tools on aircrafts that pollute unprecedented worlds. If the creatures on earth are brought to Europa, tracing the origin of alien life will be even more difficult.
