This is what a recent study presented at the 56th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference hopes to address as a team of researchers from the United States and Canada investigated the likelihood of long-term survival for microbes in the PSR areas of the Moon, which are craters located at the poles that don\u2019t see sunlight due to the Moon\u2019s small axial tilt. This study has the potential to help researchers better understand unlikely locations where they could find life as we know it throughout the solar system.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.universetoday.com\/articles\/lunar-polar-regions-could-have-microbes?rand=772204\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Could microbes survive in the permanently shadowed regions (PSRs) of the Moon?
