NASA finds Earth microbes could survive in shadowed niches near the Moon's South Pole
NASA scientists have found that microbes carried by astronauts could survive in cold, shadowed niches near the Moon's South Pole, potentially contaminating pristine lunar chemistry. Some of these refuges may be no larger than a human footprint, while one hardy fungus could even withstand limited exposure to sunlight. The discovery complicates future scientific searches for original lunar chemical signatures.
