Its getting exciting for the scientist who have been searching for extra terrestrial life outside the earth.The good news is that the scientist from India have found 3 bacteria in stratosphere,according to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
These 3 bacteria are not found in Earth and are highly resistent to ultra-violet rays.The scientist claim their founding 15km away from the earth’s atmosphere and its near upper stratosphere.
The name of the bacteria has been named after the founders.While one of the species has been named Janibacter hoylei after astrophysicist Fred Hoyle, the second has been christened Bacillus isronensis recognising the ISRO’s contribution in balloon experiments which led to the discovery.The third has been named Bacillus aryabhata after the Indian astronomer.
Though the present study doesnt prove the exsistence of the extra terrestrial life outside our Earth…It is considered a positive note by the scientists.
