Life on Mars proved to be Possible
Life on Mars proved to be Possible
Scientists have found some microbes that can survive on Mars even in zero atmosphere. Remember that the atmosphere on the surface of Mars has an abundance of carbondioxide (CO2). It contains 95.32 %( percent ) carbon dioxide. Oxygen presence is only 0.13 % (percent). Until now, science did not know anything about the 'life domain' that could survive in such an atmospheric structure.
Now, scientists have discovered some microorganisms that can 'survive' in the harsh environment of Mars. This was revealed in a study report published in the journal Frontiers in Microbiology. After the report was published, experts in the field claimed that it would be of great help in space missions and other celestial body missions and in the research that would take place there. According to lead researcher Martha Philipp Cortesao., some of the bacteria and fungi found on Earth were placed in a Martian-like environment. We found that these bacteria and fungi grew instead of dying in a Martian-like environment.
The research was carried out from the troposphere closest to the earth (8 to 15 km above) to the upper atmospheric cycle 'stratosphere'. In this atmospheric cycle, the deadly radiation from the sun is prevented from reaching the earth by stopping 'ultraviolet radiation'. The ozone layer here blocks this radiation. There is a cycle of stratosphere up to 50 km above the troposphere.
During the investigation, bacteria and fungi were placed in a balloon and transported to the stratosphere.According to Martha, some microorganisms, especially spores of the black mold fungus, survived the voyage. The intense ultraviolet radiation there also survived the spores of the city fungus.
The report of this research shows that while there is an atmosphere of happiness to find micro-organisms that can live on Mars, the current 'space mission' also needs to be very careful. Such microorganisms may have come from Earth with astronauts. Arriving there with astronauts, they can grow in the environment there. And, when the astronauts meet these micro-organisms there again, they are likely to be remembered as the 'life domain' of the place. But in reality, they arrive with the astronauts.
Catherine Sims, who is involved in the research, says those looking for life on another planet need to make sure that the microorganisms found there do not go with them. This research will be of great help to the future 'terra farming' of Mars. Scientists can start life on Mars by taking these fungi and bacteria to Mars. Bacteria and fungi are the main constituents of life on earth.
