Portrait of 5 healthy living creatures on Earth ... other planets

"Conditions of life support" is what astronomers - planetary scientists look for when studying other objects.

But they can go the wrong way. It is our earth that is gradually proving that organisms exist without the need for most of those vital conditions. According to scientists, these creatures will be an important clue for us to "portray" alien creatures and search in the right direction.

1. "Volcano monsters" live in acidic near boiling water

At the Dallol volcano - the name of a hydrothermal field in Ethopia, Spanish space biologists - geochemists have found a "crazy" bacterium that lives in an extremely rich and saline super-saturated brine environment. acidic, always near boiling (89 degrees C). This environment is quite similar to early Mars, especially in the Gusev crater area, where NASA had once landed the Spirit Mars Exploration Rover from 2004 to 2010. The research has just been published in September 2019.

2. The mystery of the "dark biosphere"

The Japanese Chikyu research vessel drilled 2.5 km below the sea floor and helped a multinational team identify a "dark biosphere" of up to 2.3 billion cubic meters, where relatives of cyanobacteria Healthy living from the time of the primitive earth until now, without light and nutrition, only absorb energy from the rock and earth.

3. Strange algae on the tower of daggers

Research published in June 2018 revealed that nearly 4,000 meters high, very cold, super strong winds and terrible UV radiation in the Andes Mountains, there are ice towers shaped like a dagger. And on those dagger ice towers there is a surprising community of microorganisms including Chlamydomonas algae, Chloromonas algae and many bacteria. This is one of the harshest places in the world and according to a team of scientists from the University of California at Boulder (USA), it's like . Pluto.

4. 50,000-year-old creature buried under the ice

The last ice age created in the Arctic underground empty spaces bearing ancient seawater, looking like a 50,000-year-old sealed tomb without light, air, or nothing from the outside world. But in ancient sea , extreme and deadly in these catacombs, scientists from the University of Washington (USA) have found a . flock of microorganisms. According to them, they live here, living on Mars is a small thing!

5. Tardigrade immortal

A strange creature called Tardigrade has just had the opportunity to migrate from the earth on the moon thanks to the hitchhiking of Israel. While the mission to research the moon failed, the ship broke down, but it seems they did something unthinkable to seed life on the moon.

Tardigrade is said to live well at temperatures - 272 degrees C to 150 degrees C, can live until the solar system wither, withstand zero pressure and super terrible. They often "die" when lack of water, but just a few drops of water, this tiny monster will revive. With Tardigrade data, it is believed they are living happily on the moon.
