INCREDIBLE NATURE

What are the right conditions for life to exist on a planet? Nobody really knows.

Microbial life has been found living in strange places, like high radiation environments, acid chemical
environments and even active volcanoes. Those amazing micro-organisms are called extremophiles and
they show how flexible life can be regarding its habitats. For that reason, Professor John Delaney from
Washington University is convinced that life on Earth began with extremophiles either under the ocean or
on volcanoes. Besides, these microbes are now helping us in space research

Since most space environments are cold, NASA is particularly interested in extremophiles that can survive
at low temperatures. In 1999 NASA had a research expedition working at Lake Vostok in Antarctica. This is
a huge lake which has been frozen for a million years. Ice was taken from 4,000m under the surface and
some bacterial species were recovered. The microbes didn’t receive any sunlight for a considerable time
( they got trapped in the ice about 400,000 years ago!) and they still showed activity. These discoveries are
a good sign for the possibility of life on Jupiter.
