New form of life found

There was an amazing story written by our amazing planet that came out late last week the story involves essentially a new sort of organism that they found deep below the oceanic crust the scientists are calling it a dark biosphere in these organisms that they discovered are part of an ecosystem which uses chemicals and chemosynthesis and not photosynthesis.

These Denmark scientists have noted that while bacteria and other small microbes in organisms have been found in deep boreholes throughout the seafloor this brand-new discovery confirms that life can exist in it not only some of the most remote areas of the earth but deep within the crust itself. These organisms are living with in the rocks and have large communities were there thriving eating through the minerals in the rocks to sustain themselves. What is really interesting is how this should slice of the deep biosphere in a hard rock surface not only in our planet for the possibilities of life and other planets. You’ve noted that on this blog will often discussed a slow leak of information from scientists confirming that life could exist on other planets this report itself also illustrates the potential of scientists leaking out information getting us prepared for the notion that life could exist in a weird difficult and far-off places throughout our solar system. What is also amazing is that these Dutch scientist said that these microorganisms are ancient organisms, meaning they have been around for generations and millennia. They are also not a unique organism as they have discovered that they are throughout the oceanic crust and thus are thriving in these extremely hospitable conditions.

Scientists note that we have a bias for light-based organisms and thus having us think of a completely dark biosphere that can sustain life is an amazing thing to fathom. Throughout our solar system there must be other planets with a similar condition as our own oceanic crust. This is a remarkable find indeed.
