vger Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Russian scientists discovered the plankton while studying samples from the exterior of the ISS  samples they only found because they were doing a routine cleaning of the ISS' windows. Scientists are now baffled about how these marine organisms made their way into space. -- the plankton survived even in subzero temperatures and without oxygen. -- The even stranger part of the story is that the Russian scientists discovered the plankton aren't native to Baikonur, Kazakhstan, from where the Russian modules of the station blasted off. The scientists speculate that air currents may have carried the plankton into space.http://theweek.com/article/index/266730/speedreads-scientists-shocked-to-discover-plankton-on-exterior-of-international-space-station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
