Zachary Gutierrez+FollowSpace Station Bacteria Level: Mutant!Chinese astronauts just found a wild new bacteria chilling on their space station—Niallia tiangongensis. This little guy is basically a mutant cousin of a common Earth bacteria, but it’s got some crazy survival skills, like eating gelatin and possibly fixing radiation damage. Scientists think it could help us figure out how life adapts in space (and maybe even help medicine and farming back on Earth). Space germs are officially next-level! #SpaceScience #Bacteria #Tiangong #SpaceStation #WeirdScience #Science30Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowSpace Station’s Wild New Microbe Discovery!Chinese scientists just found a brand new microbe living on the Tiangong space station—and it’s got some wild survival skills! This little bacteria, Niallia tiangongensis, isn’t just tough enough for space, it might help turn waste into resources and even inspire new tech for medicine and farming back on Earth. Who knew space grime could be so useful? Next time you wipe down a surface, imagine what’s living out there in orbit! #SpaceDiscovery #Tiangong #Microbiology #Innovation #ScienceNews #Science241Share
