NASA: Earth microbes may survive on Moon
The study conducted by NASA focused on the ability of certain microorganisms, such as fungi and bacteria, to survive for periods ranging from weeks to months in the surface conditions of the Moon, particularly in areas with permanent shadows and cold seasons. Fungi like Aspergillus and Fusarium were especially noted for their adaptability. The results indicated that the presence of these microbes on the Moon's surface could threaten lunar resources, such as frozen water, and lead to contamination. This could hinder scientific research and make it difficult to distinguish between life transported from Earth and any potential life that may exist on the Moon.
