Earth microbes found on the Moon
A recent study suggests that some terrestrial microbes can remain on the surface of the Moon in a state of extreme dormancy, especially in shaded areas near the poles. They can remain viable without growth or movement until environmental conditions change. Additionally, lunar terrain features, including footprints and rover tracks, offer them relative protection from ultraviolet radiation and harsh temperatures. This raises concerns about the potential transfer of microorganisms during future space missions, highlighting the importance of restricting the transfer of materials and microbes during lunar exploration.
