A little unnerving to know this, since this kind of contamination can go both ways. Leaking bacteria/viruses from a lab into the world is pretty risky, and nothing is 100% safe
Nah, you just artificially lockdown the whole planet and install a medical dictatorship, that's all. No matter if people die from non-science.. it looks nice on the politician's linked-in profile.
A "Class 10,000 clean room" would allow 10,000 particles per cubic meter of air -- not very clean. I used to work in a Class 1,000 clean room, which allowed only 1,000 particles per cubic meter of air (that's cleaner than a hospital's operating room) and we wore "bunny" suits (white nylon fabric with carbon fibers woven into it for anti-static, booties over clean room safety toe footwear, a pair of powder-free nitrile gloves over inspector's gloves, hair covers, face mask, hood, and sleeves and cuffs taped). A Class 3 clean room would allow only 3 particles per cubic meter and a Class 1 clean room would allow only 1 particle per cubic meter of air -- that's something that microchip manufacturers have and you have be in a full encapsulation suit with an in-line air hose and small reserve bottle of air in case of emergency escape or switching hose connections.
Apollo 12 landed on the moon near the Surveyor 3 spacecraft. Pieces of it were brought back to earth, and they found bacteria that had survived more than 2 years on the moon.
I've worked in Class 10,000 / ISO 7 clean rooms. They're only as clean and the cleaning crew and occupants keep them. The QA Micro bio teams test them for how clean they are, but even ISO 7 rooms have some tolerance for bacteria/spore counts.
@@MichaelsCrazy yes, it has to be a mistake. (For the benefit of someone else who may read this, class 10,000/ISO 7 means there may be no more than 10,000 particles greater in diameter than .5 um in any cubic foot of air. And, there are other requirements, such as a minimum of 60 air changes per hour.) I can’t imagine exposing these incredibly rare and important samples to anything worse than Class 10/ISO 4 environment. The cleanroom NASA uses to examine lunar samples is ISO 4.
Me, as a former cleaning-woman, allways look around in hospitals. I am not surprised by what I see: the kind of 'cleaning-personel', the state of surfaces and corners of the floors. Given the time they have to clean (way too little time). And.....for each type of small job/work, another person or even two came into the room. More practical...one person doing all cleaning and other things. Will not take much more time working, but less personel walking and talking along in a certain section.
@@TheHarmonicOscillatorit might have been an iso 5 environment within an iso 7 room. Like a bio safety cabinet or isolator in a room with a lower classification.
Well, that sucks, actually. Because if bacteria can contaminate the samples, then anything can. If I were the leading scientist on that project, I would not be particularly pleased.
well you can still tell if things like amino acids did come from the original asteroid if they are found homogenously throughout the sample, and in larger then otherwise expected amounts from light contamination.
"anything can" is an illogical leap. Logic and reason allowed them to discern the source of the bacteria. Nothing sucky there at all. "It was very surprising to find terrestrial microbes within the rock. We usually polish meteorite specimens, and MICROBES RARELY APPEAR ON THEM. However, it only needs ONE microbial spore to cause colonization." - Matthew Genge of Imperial College London
Or alternatively, such projects and expeditions, can be understood to have two complementary intentions: avoiding contamination -and- observe how great anticontamination protocols and procedures life on earth can overcome. That is, on the assumption that they did their best and did not make simple mistakes or had simple accidents.
definitely makes it harder to, you know, figure out whether there IS life elsewhere to start with, since we automaticaly contaminate it simply by getting there, and also because this implies we *already* probably contaminated a bunch of places in the solar system at least (depending on the microbial life's ability to survive in harsher oxygen-less enviroments, but yeah).
@@n3v3r1s4 bro oxygen environment are the harsher environments thats why the majority of ancient anaerobic life died out when oxygen became abundant. Man youtubers like Anton really is milking you guys. You are straight on farm.
This finding would make a great TedTalk, and I'd like to see Antonn deliver it in a speech about why investigating near-earth objects should have wide scientific and financial support.
I know it is only a small thing, but thank you for your big grin at the end of your videos. As the world becomes a more tired and hard place (at least for the time), your science videos and good demeanour are always uplifting. Thank you.
Panspermia may or may not be the case, but Geospermia surely is. Every major asteroid/comet impact on Earth has thrown millions of life-bearing rocks into the void, and many of those have fallen on the other planets of our system, granting each of them a head start in developing their own biosystem. When we finally get our feet off the ground we're going to find Earth-type life all over the place, all perfectly adapted to the various environments of the Solar system.
Yep. We know Earth is a great environment for all sorts of life - the hypothesis that life went from here to other places in the solar system makes more sense than vice versa. However in this case it either just went from Earth to the asteroid & back to Earth or it evaded the clean room protocols.
@@cdineaglecollapsecenter4672 mars was suitable for life long before us right? Seems equally likely to start on either planet first - provided we find life on mars
This could be used as indirect evidence of the quarantine variation of the Fermi paradox. Earth has such an aggressive biology that , if allowed to do so, it would invade and overwhelm any alien ecology it touched.
There are no aliens. When we think about our species, it's clear we engage in some level of 'zookeeping' ourselves, observing and managing other life forms. If some advanced beings were conducting the experiment of a lifetime by watching us, you'd think they'd be more invested in how life on Earth is progressing-or at least leave more compelling evidence of their interest.
Life goes on. I think we have the wrong attitude with regards to searching for alien life. I say we should seed it to other planets and moons and see what happens.
I think that this is humanitys great philosphical and moral question of this age. In the search of new Frontiers, do we move at a turtles pace and wait to see if life is indeed out there or conquer space as the species has conquered things in the past
Found the concluder. Science is overrated anyway. We have AxionSmurf to guide us to the truth. Thank God for their enlightened creation. We'd be so lost otherwise.
So, the bacteria in the container are from Earth. They launched the probe with the bacteria into space. They collected samples in the container with the bacteria already in it. Then the samples returned to Earth with the bacteria that were already in the container. These survive the entry into the atmosphere and on earth the bacteria awoke from their sleep (a state called sporulation) and populated the samples before the containers were even opened. Is that correct?
Tell me you didn't watch the video without telling me... Their were no fossils - had not been to space - contaminated on earth during sample distribution (to the various labs for analysis)
I think it's implied in the video that the contamination happened after the samples returned to Earth, during the opening of the container in a clean room, which could already have had some bacteria.
@@elek_i might need to check again. From what i understand, the contamination doesn't happen during the opening or transport of the sample where they followed the strictest decontamination protocol, but after it arrived at the lab and started being examined.
Hi Anton! Loved the video! And your smile always makes my day! We all should learn from Anton, and share a smile with someone every day! Anton's a great teacher in many ways! Sending love your way Anton!! 😊❤
Very well explained, which poses particular challenges, especially with such a complex and sensitive topic and process. Anton, you and your channel are great!
Interesting flip there. I wasn't expecting the few bacteria that might be present in a clean room to latch onto asteroid fragments like they found a box of Sees chocolates. Our microbial cousins operate in beast mode. Take care and be safe, Wonderful Anton 💜🍀🌏
Anton, I've been watching your vids for years now under multiple accounts and growing as an artist. Only guy consistent on every algorithm for keeping me up to date. Thank you wonderful astrophysicist! Edit: next person to call me a bot imma say yo mama a bot no gpt or league 😤 type sh
Yummy asteroid samples for chemotrophic microbes. Yeah, preventing sample contamination is very very difficult. But, it's a fine line between sterilizing your samples and chemically altering them. They'll have to UV-C all surfaces, implements, containers, and then some.
Hi Anton! I'm mildly shocked that you said it was opened in a Class 10,000 cleanroom! Class 10,000 rooms are not even close to clean! That is almost normal air! Most high-end cleanrooms are at least Class 10 (10 particles/m^3)or better! Edit - 7:50 shows where your info came from, and my guess is that that is a misprint. It is displayed as 1 0000... Nitrogen or not, 10,000 particles per m^3 is dirty!
Yeah when I heard what the specs of a class 10,000 clean room was I was a bit shocked - far from clean for this type of work. I would of thought they would of used a hard vacuum or something honestly, were meant to be able to get those less than density of space, right?
Awesome vid. However drawing the conclusion that any current panspermia is virtually impossible because our bacterial life here is settled to the max is absolutely impossible. Bring a more competitive bacteria in an environment and it will drive the less competitive ones away in no time. There is no "definitive most competitive" bacteria, there's always a chance a better fit could come from literally outerspace
As a fan/believer in space development, I think this is awesome news! It's clear that we need to add biological research, especially of extraterrestrial samples, to the list of missions that can best be carried out only on a large LEO facility. I hope I get to see one built! And, yes, adding a few-hundred km "vacuum gap" in the sample-handling process wouldn't be a total solution (the LEO research facility itself would of course have some contamination), but it should improve the odds of getting to a much better solution for sample-research.
Thank you I always learn something from you. I was surprised recently when I sent one of your videos your friend my friend answered that he was well aware of your channel I like that a lot
There is an alternative conclusion- in fact several. 1) That earth's bacteria somehow are capable of escaping earth's atmosphere and survive long enough to find habitable environments if they're close enough- like an asteroid that does a near pass. 2) That bacteria that we consider unique to earth are not, but perhaps can be found elsewhere in the solar system at least- possibly also the universe. IDK- but perhaps the conclusion should be that bacteria are extremely pervasive and impossible to contain.
bacteria from earth outside of earth are from earth, it's statiscally impossible for an other life to evolve exactly like the one on earth to the point on having the same DNA or simply having DNA. scientist have already created lifeform with XNA, so there is no reason for a lifeform originating from sowhere else to need DNA, could build any other kind of system.
Can't they tell by analysis if it's a bacteria FROM Earth v a bacteria that is a type we have here but from somewhere else? Isn't there a way to check that (like ions?)
It's not the second one cause there was no evidence of long term survival suggesting that it's inhabitation of the asteroid was more recent or at least from this solo system.
Makes me wonder if it’s part of the proto-earth back when it was still forming, perhaps a chunk blasted away at some point. There could be tons of them out there that were once part of the earth.
🦠 Only three possibilities: 1) Life is everywhere and it's all Earth life, 2) We've been to Ryugu before and 'forgotten' about it (or never knew about it) and 3) contamination is nearly impossible to avoid. Three possibilities, but only 1 guess! 😉 Thank you for the Michael Crichton quote, by the way!
4) Life on Earth evolved in parallel and perfectly synchronized with Ryugu, 5) Life is everywhere and it's all Ryugu life, 7) Ryugu contaminated Earth, 12) Life is nowhere and it's all a lifeless illusion masquerading as life
@@tomiantenna7279 5) God lost passion for his project but He is still on a quadrillion year contract and now He just phones it in and copy-pastes the bacteria.
maybe we should put more equipment for research on future probes so that samples do not have to return to earth and risk contamination. unfortunately that kind of stuff has a lot of mass and space probes cant have much of that...
The problem is, the probes themselves would come already contaminated by terrestrial microbes, which are proven to be able to survive exposition to the void
And I ask again, why in the world are we not sending microscopes into space. They weigh relatively very little, even electron scanning. Why didn’t we have one on Europa Clipper? On Perserverance and Curiosity? The comet dust mission specifically collected ice particles, you think a microscope might have been handy?
Exobiologists are afraid to ask the question. Religious nuttery reacts violently against any facts that contradict dogma. Copernicus and Galileo learned the hard way.
I hope you are safe over there in Korea. I heard about something shocking going down in Seoul. Please stay inside until it blows over. Much love for you and your family from my family.
Earth bacteria contaminating the sample is one possibility. But it already being there and sharing the same genetic lineage as earth bacteria should not be dismissed.
My brother once pranked me by telling my on the drive home from school that scientists found the fossil remains of lobster-like creatures on Mars - I didn't believe him at first, but he was convincing lol, then he revealed he pranked me. Imagine though, if there were remains or even living multicellular life on Mars, Europa, or Enceladus - it'd be super epic.
click bait ... from the paper : "Although this observation could be interpreted as confirmation of panspermia, the population statistics of the microorganisms suggest population growth and decline after sample preparation, rather than after arrival on Earth, and thus suggest the microbes are terrestrial contamination."
Another beautiful example of natural selection. It only takes one bacteria to survive the "clean room" and it will adapt to literally anything thrown at it. We see this with antibiotics and pesticides. Cancer is another example of extreme adaptation to survive literally anything humanity has thrown at it....
@@RickTheClipper Gives us time... And time was needed. Or a designer. I think we are missing a lot of time from our perspective... Or it's an emergent property of our universe, but then, we're back at the paradox.
It still doesn't answer the question of humanity's uniqueness. We cook things, we can travel outside the Earth's atmosphere, we create art and music, we can genetically modify every species on this planet, we've created AI and the internet, we've harnessed electricity, fire and basic chemistry. Not one lifeform on this planet can do these things. The odds of us human beings one life form out of billions on this planet being able to do these things are incredibly slim. But that's what we observe.
We need people like you, Anton. I hope I live long enough to see definitive proof of extra-terrestrial life, whether it's microbial or intelligent, technologically advanced or something in between on that vast scale. I would rather know the truth, however, as opposed to publicity-seeking hysterical claims. Keep sharing the hard science, Anton. It is appreciated.
@ 2:33 - Amino acids are not the building blocks of DNA. They are the building blocks of proteins. The building blocks of DNA are nucleotides and are a completely different class of organic molecules to amino acids.
This gives huge credibility to panspermia. This, and the bacteria growing on the space station that's from earth's atmosphere. I understand how people became upset about the contamination, but I think that this actually has a flip side of helping us understand biology a lot more.
Bacillus simply means a bacterium. A Class 10,000 clean room is not particularly clean. The 10,000 means that there are fewer than 10,000 particles of less than 1 micron across per square metre. I was working in a Class 100 clean room in the 1970's, and modern semiconductor wafers are processed in Class 10, or even cleaner conditions.
Once. But first we have to have reached a point of scientific advancement where we can actually sterilize things fully. After that there is no room for discussion, but that's not today. Oh also you can tell how long bacteria have been on something by their amount and the effects they leave over time on the things they inhabit. You're 15 minutes on google scholar from your own answer.
That's the panspermia hypothesis. Once would be enough if it's in situ, but that still would not prove that Earth isn't the origin. That would not depend on the number, but on genetic analysis.
I've been shouting about Panspermia for decades. If life evolves anywhere in the galaxy, then it spreads everywhere. Stars swing pretty close, every once and a while, while our own atmosphere spawns its own life in a shroud around it. We seed our own neighbors already. That is more likely to bring life, from among 300 Million Earth-like planets, instead of life evolving on a single planet *as soon as* the oceans cooled enough to fill the basins. Earth had life too quickly; either it landed from somewhere else where life had already diversified, or life evolves easily on Earth... which would imply that it would also be common elsewhere, which ALSO boosts the likelihood of all *other* planets producing life.
Hi Anton, I spotted a small mistake in what you said at 2:29 '' small amount of amino acids (building blocks for DNA) ''. Amino acid are building blocks for proteins, you either meant '' building blocks for protein (instead of building blocks for DNA)'' or '' nucleic acids (instead of amino acids). Anyways, great video keep on the good work !
So thIs is exactly what i would have been looking for to back my theory that most asteroids were comets in the past that lost much of what traits required to qualify for comet status. I have discussed my theory many times with my friends and family over the years and believe that one day evidence will lead to science having to rewrite to books on the creation of our solar system and the emergence of life on earth. Most just nod and play along while some hold strong to the belief they have in current science being 100% accurate and unchangeable and who am i to think the science is wrong. No amount of explmining that science isn't about what we know is forever as it is but rather scienceis the never ending exploration of everything within and possibly beyond our universe. Our knowledge will never be set in stone because scienceis about learning more and making exciting new discoveries. It's not about right or wrong it's about exploration and being excited about all the amazing ways we ventureout to search for all the answers knowing that is the only thing that is a constantand unchangeable. The adventure of our quest for discovery and knowledge. As long as we question what the meaning is to life we will always be rewrite the books on science which is like a lifetime ticket for all the rides of every theme park for eternity and it makes me all gitty and bouncy 😊
What is not being mentioned is that any active bacteria from an extra terrestrial local can just as easily evade our best attempts at confinement. Scary right?
Many bacteria survive a vacuum for a long time. At a vacuum, water boils at much lower temperatures, but liquid water was probably inside of sealed pockets that also contained nutrients and other organisms like viruses.
@@kylewolff1728 No, I like wordplay also. It was a joke, g don't take everything so seriously. By the way, this joke has been made a thousand times on this channel so do the math...
Someone should write a yellow science article titled "Sensational discovery: Abiogenesis discovered in clean room! Life develops from nothing in a clean room where by definition there can be no life."
None of this makes sense. Did they not do any testing on known, sterilized samples ahead of time? Take some beach sand and heat it to a thousand degrees and do the same tests to verify your room is clean. How could they not be aware their procedures aren't effective enough to keep samples sterile? These people earn big money.
It is crazy that those germ can survive every sterilisation protocols and we being surrounded everywhere by them in our daily environments are yet not eaten alive X)
I wonder if it's possible for the contamination to be happening with the spacecraft itself inside the atmosphere. Bacteria finds a way to survive on spacecraft > somehow survives lauch conditions (in nooks and crannies perhaps?) > spreads to the collection equipment > contaminates the sample at the moment of collection
This seems to suggest that microorganisms laugh at our best "clean" rooms, which is worrying but not surprising.
This assumes competent technicians and engineers in the clean room... big assumption 😅
I'm wondering if they can even be inside supposedly sterile test tubes and petri dishes and other mass-fabricated containers.

I've worked in Class 10,000 / ISO 7 clean rooms. They're only as clean and the cleaning crew and occupants keep them. The QA Micro bio teams test them for how clean they are, but even ISO 7 rooms have some tolerance for bacteria/spore counts.
Class 10000 seems dirty for that kind of work. The electronics industry uses rooms 100 x cleaner. I'm assuming he misspoke. Maybe iso 4
@@MichaelsCrazy yes, it has to be a mistake. (For the benefit of someone else who may read this, class 10,000/ISO 7 means there may be no more than 10,000 particles greater in diameter than .5 um in any cubic foot of air. And, there are other requirements, such as a minimum of 60 air changes per hour.) I can’t imagine exposing these incredibly rare and important samples to anything worse than Class 10/ISO 4 environment. The cleanroom NASA uses to examine lunar samples is ISO 4.
Interesting stuff
Me, as a former cleaning-woman, allways look around in hospitals. I am not surprised by what I see: the kind of 'cleaning-personel', the state of surfaces and corners of the floors. Given the time they have to clean (way too little time). And.....for each type of small job/work, another person or even two came into the room. More practical...one person doing all cleaning and other things. Will not take much more time working, but less personel walking and talking along in a certain section.
@@TheHarmonicOscillatorit might have been an iso 5 environment within an iso 7 room. Like a bio safety cabinet or isolator in a room with a lower classification.
Well, that sucks, actually. Because if bacteria can contaminate the samples, then anything can. If I were the leading scientist on that project, I would not be particularly pleased.
well you can still tell if things like amino acids did come from the original asteroid if they are found homogenously throughout the sample, and in larger then otherwise expected amounts from light contamination.
"anything can" is an illogical leap. Logic and reason allowed them to discern the source of the bacteria. Nothing sucky there at all. "It was very surprising to find terrestrial microbes within the rock. We usually polish meteorite specimens, and MICROBES RARELY APPEAR ON THEM. However, it only needs ONE microbial spore to cause colonization." - Matthew Genge of Imperial College London
Or alternatively, such projects and expeditions, can be understood to have two complementary intentions: avoiding contamination -and- observe how great anticontamination protocols and procedures life on earth can overcome.
That is, on the assumption that they did their best and did not make simple mistakes or had simple accidents.
definitely makes it harder to, you know, figure out whether there IS life elsewhere to start with, since we automaticaly contaminate it simply by getting there, and also because this implies we *already* probably contaminated a bunch of places in the solar system at least (depending on the microbial life's ability to survive in harsher oxygen-less enviroments, but yeah).

If it goes down that means you're living in the best state you ever could in comparison to what will come.
Panspermia may or may not be the case, but Geospermia surely is. Every major asteroid/comet impact on Earth has thrown millions of life-bearing rocks into the void, and many of those have fallen on the other planets of our system, granting each of them a head start in developing their own biosystem. When we finally get our feet off the ground we're going to find Earth-type life all over the place, all perfectly adapted to the various environments of the Solar system.
Yep. We know Earth is a great environment for all sorts of life - the hypothesis that life went from here to other places in the solar system makes more sense than vice versa. However in this case it either just went from Earth to the asteroid & back to Earth or it evaded the clean room protocols.

This could be used as indirect evidence of the quarantine variation of the Fermi paradox. Earth has such an aggressive biology that , if allowed to do so, it would invade and overwhelm any alien ecology it touched.
There are no aliens. When we think about our species, it's clear we engage in some level of 'zookeeping' ourselves, observing and managing other life forms. If some advanced beings were conducting the experiment of a lifetime by watching us, you'd think they'd be more invested in how life on Earth is progressing-or at least leave more compelling evidence of their interest.
Life goes on. I think we have the wrong attitude with regards to searching for alien life. I say we should seed it to other planets and moons and see what happens.
I think that this is humanitys great philosphical and moral question of this age. In the search of new Frontiers, do we move at a turtles pace and wait to see if life is indeed out there or conquer space as the species has conquered things in the past
True, compared to the biology of all the other planets we researched, it is very aggressive.

So, the bacteria in the container are from Earth. They launched the probe with the bacteria into space. They collected samples in the container with the bacteria already in it. Then the samples returned to Earth with the bacteria that were already in the container. These survive the entry into the atmosphere and on earth the bacteria awoke from their sleep (a state called sporulation) and populated the samples before the containers were even opened.
Is that correct?
Tell me you didn't watch the video without telling me...
Their were no fossils - had not been to space - contaminated on earth during sample distribution (to the various labs for analysis)
Only one sample was contaminated, it’s more likely it happened after the samples were returned to earth.
I think it's implied in the video that the contamination happened after the samples returned to Earth, during the opening of the container in a clean room, which could already have had some bacteria.
From this video I imagine the more likely cause is the bacteria entered the samples on earth, inside the laboratories.
@@elek_i might need to check again. From what i understand, the contamination doesn't happen during the opening or transport of the sample where they followed the strictest decontamination protocol, but after it arrived at the lab and started being examined.

Yummy asteroid samples for chemotrophic microbes. Yeah, preventing sample contamination is very very difficult. But, it's a fine line between sterilizing your samples and chemically altering them. They'll have to UV-C all surfaces, implements, containers, and then some.
Hi Anton! I'm mildly shocked that you said it was opened in a Class 10,000 cleanroom!
Class 10,000 rooms are not even close to clean! That is almost normal air!
Most high-end cleanrooms are at least Class 10 (10 particles/m^3)or better!
Edit - 7:50 shows where your info came from, and my guess is that that is a misprint. It is displayed as 1 0000...
Nitrogen or not, 10,000 particles per m^3 is dirty!
I was surprised as well to see 10,000-class clean room was used. That from another article.
"10,000 particles per m^3 is dirty!" That's my kink 👄
I was wondering why it seemed so indescriptive of the “terrestrial atmosphere” they were exposed to. Now it makes sense lmao 💀
Yeah when I heard what the specs of a class 10,000 clean room was I was a bit shocked - far from clean for this type of work. I would of thought they would of used a hard vacuum or something honestly, were meant to be able to get those less than density of space, right?
Awesome vid. However drawing the conclusion that any current panspermia is virtually impossible because our bacterial life here is settled to the max is absolutely impossible. Bring a more competitive bacteria in an environment and it will drive the less competitive ones away in no time. There is no "definitive most competitive" bacteria, there's always a chance a better fit could come from literally outerspace
As a fan/believer in space development, I think this is awesome news! It's clear that we need to add biological research, especially of extraterrestrial samples, to the list of missions that can best be carried out only on a large LEO facility. I hope I get to see one built! And, yes, adding a few-hundred km "vacuum gap" in the sample-handling process wouldn't be a total solution (the LEO research facility itself would of course have some contamination), but it should improve the odds of getting to a much better solution for sample-research.
That old adage, “What happens on Earth, stays on Earth.” Is not really a thing. Earth can’t keep a secret. Can’t resist telling everyone it meets.
Just like Tina, it spreads infection on contact.
Just like vegans and stoners. Typical.
Oops, we've accidentally contaminated Mars with life. Starting in the early 1970s 😂

Wonderful as always Anton. Thank you. 🫠
Thanks
Thank you I always learn something from you. I was surprised recently when I sent one of your videos your friend my friend answered that he was well aware of your channel I like that a lot
You can’t make such a statement that a new microbe can’t settle here without knowing if it is stronger, and more resilient.
But you can know it in your heart to be true.
And it certainly doesn't rule out panspermia being a thing before you know, there *was* life on earth.
There is an alternative conclusion- in fact several. 1) That earth's bacteria somehow are capable of escaping earth's atmosphere and survive long enough to find habitable environments if they're close enough- like an asteroid that does a near pass. 2) That bacteria that we consider unique to earth are not, but perhaps can be found elsewhere in the solar system at least- possibly also the universe.
IDK- but perhaps the conclusion should be that bacteria are extremely pervasive and impossible to contain.
Genomic analysis should make it clearer if it is one of those two of yours
bacteria from earth outside of earth are from earth, it's statiscally impossible for an other life to evolve exactly like the one on earth to the point on having the same DNA or simply having DNA. scientist have already created lifeform with XNA, so there is no reason for a lifeform originating from sowhere else to need DNA, could build any other kind of system.
Can't they tell by analysis if it's a bacteria FROM Earth v a bacteria that is a type we have here but from somewhere else? Isn't there a way to check that (like ions?)
It's not the second one cause there was no evidence of long term survival suggesting that it's inhabitation of the asteroid was more recent or at least from this solo system.
Actually, another theory is that alien bacteria seeded Earth and this bolsters that theory.
Makes me wonder if it’s part of the proto-earth back when it was still forming, perhaps a chunk blasted away at some point. There could be tons of them out there that were once part of the earth.
Well there must be many parts of proto earth still floating around. The collission with earth that formed the moon will have done that.

Thank you Anton. We all appreciate your ability to translate science into common everyday terms.
🦠 Only three possibilities: 1) Life is everywhere and it's all Earth life, 2) We've been to Ryugu before and 'forgotten' about it (or never knew about it) and 3) contamination is nearly impossible to avoid.

@@tomiantenna7279 Only one guess and the answer is 3.
No, there is only one possibility - simple contamination. Anything else is stupidity.
maybe we should put more equipment for research on future probes so that samples do not have to return to earth and risk contamination. unfortunately that kind of stuff has a lot of mass and space probes cant have much of that...
Mr Musk get that starship working that might not be a problem for much longer.
Tbf the contamination might’ve come from the probe itself
@@HT-Blindleader while Starship might help, it is not a magic wand that suddenly solves all mass related issues in spaceflight
The problem is, the probes themselves would come already contaminated by terrestrial microbes, which are proven to be able to survive exposition to the void
And I ask again, why in the world are we not sending microscopes into space. They weigh relatively very little, even electron scanning. Why didn’t we have one on Europa Clipper? On Perserverance and Curiosity? The comet dust mission specifically collected ice particles, you think a microscope might have been handy?
Exobiologists are afraid to ask the question. Religious nuttery reacts violently against any facts that contradict dogma. Copernicus and Galileo learned the hard way.

Nothing to worry about
The bacteria found are not "FROM Earth", but are the same types of bacteria as found on Earth, that's not just semantics, there is a huge difference.
Earth bacteria contaminating the sample is one possibility.
But it already being there and sharing the same genetic lineage as earth bacteria should not be dismissed.
So people can’t eat tidepods, but bacteria were damn set on completing that challenge and succeeded? The mad lads.
There are bacteria that eat lots of tish that would kill humans posthaste.
Like ammonia, H2S, and cyanide.
It's the old saying, "anything is possible if you're set on it!". They only tend to forget the second part, "if you're bacteria"
You sound a bit sick Anton, hope you get well soon! 💪💪
I wonder how many bacteria have been flown to Mars.
That is really mind blowing. I can remember being taught that space was a vacuum, void of life.
What's next, a sea teeming with life on Uropa
My brother once pranked me by telling my on the drive home from school that scientists found the fossil remains of lobster-like creatures on Mars - I didn't believe him at first, but he was convincing lol, then he revealed he pranked me.
Imagine though, if there were remains or even living multicellular life on Mars, Europa, or Enceladus - it'd be super epic.
click bait ... from the paper : "Although this observation could be interpreted as confirmation of panspermia, the population statistics of the microorganisms suggest population growth and decline after sample preparation, rather than after arrival on Earth, and thus suggest the microbes are terrestrial contamination."
what cumbersome way of saying: Bob sneezed at the stone
We are star dust all of us.
Interesting stuff as usual! Stay safe, bud.
Another beautiful example of natural selection. It only takes one bacteria to survive the "clean room" and it will adapt to literally anything thrown at it. We see this with antibiotics and pesticides.
Cancer is another example of extreme adaptation to survive literally anything humanity has thrown at it....

Not one lifeform on this planet can do these things. The odds of us human beings one life form out of billions on this planet being able to do these things are incredibly slim. But that's what we observe.

@ 2:33 - Amino acids are not the building blocks of DNA. They are the building blocks of proteins. The building blocks of DNA are nucleotides and are a completely different class of organic molecules to amino acids.
You are wrong,
How do we know that the bacteria doesn’t come from elsewhere and came to earth via asteroids?
He explained that in the vid: Growth rate and population size. Also, no fossils.
And ...... ALL socks which definitely ain't got lost in the washing machine. Are in the Asteroid. Just below the crust. They are.
This gives huge credibility to panspermia. This, and the bacteria growing on the space station that's from earth's atmosphere. I understand how people became upset about the contamination, but I think that this actually has a flip side of helping us understand biology a lot more.
This was a particularly thoughtful, insightful podcast. Occam's Razor prevailed. Warmest compliments. Thank you, sir.

Sooo.. we might have brought life to Mars with our rovers.
I’ve always wondered about this.
Almost certainly, whether or not it was life by the time it got there is a separate question.
It almost certainly couldn't have survived the trip.
Bacillus simply means a bacterium.
A Class 10,000 clean room is not particularly clean. The 10,000 means that there are fewer than 10,000 particles of less than 1 micron across per square metre. I was working in a Class 100 clean room in the 1970's, and modern semiconductor wafers are processed in Class 10, or even cleaner conditions.
I love microbes. Such small yet powerful microscopic entities.
How many times do you gotta find earth bacteria on stuff in space before we figure out it's space bacteria that got all over earth
Once. But first we have to have reached a point of scientific advancement where we can actually sterilize things fully. After that there is no room for discussion, but that's not today. Oh also you can tell how long bacteria have been on something by their amount and the effects they leave over time on the things they inhabit. You're 15 minutes on google scholar from your own answer.
That's the panspermia hypothesis. Once would be enough if it's in situ, but that still would not prove that Earth isn't the origin. That would not depend on the number, but on genetic analysis.

I've been shouting about Panspermia for decades. If life evolves anywhere in the galaxy, then it spreads everywhere. Stars swing pretty close, every once and a while, while our own atmosphere spawns its own life in a shroud around it. We seed our own neighbors already. That is more likely to bring life, from among 300 Million Earth-like planets, instead of life evolving on a single planet *as soon as* the oceans cooled enough to fill the basins. Earth had life too quickly; either it landed from somewhere else where life had already diversified, or life evolves easily on Earth... which would imply that it would also be common elsewhere, which ALSO boosts the likelihood of all *other* planets producing life.
Then, where is it?
Hi Anton, I spotted a small mistake in what you said at 2:29 '' small amount of amino acids (building blocks for DNA) ''. Amino acid are building blocks for proteins, you either meant '' building blocks for protein (instead of building blocks for DNA)'' or '' nucleic acids (instead of amino acids). Anyways, great video keep on the good work !

So prosaic, yet so significant - thanks Anton! Great subject, as ever.
So thIs is exactly what i would have been looking for to back my theory that most asteroids were comets in the past that lost much of what traits required to qualify for comet status. I have discussed my theory many times with my friends and family over the years and believe that one day evidence will lead to science having to rewrite to books on the creation of our solar system and the emergence of life on earth. Most just nod and play along while some hold strong to the belief they have in current science being 100% accurate and unchangeable and who am i to think the science is wrong. No amount of explmining that science isn't about what we know is forever as it is but rather scienceis the never ending exploration of everything within and possibly beyond our universe. Our knowledge will never be set in stone because scienceis about learning more and making exciting new discoveries. It's not about right or wrong it's about exploration and being excited about all the amazing ways we ventureout to search for all the answers knowing that is the only thing that is a constantand unchangeable. The adventure of our quest for discovery and knowledge. As long as we question what the meaning is to life we will always be rewrite the books on science which is like a lifetime ticket for all the rides of every theme park for eternity and it makes me all gitty and bouncy 😊
What is not being mentioned is that any active bacteria from an extra terrestrial local can just as easily evade our best attempts at confinement. Scary right?
Many bacteria survive a vacuum for a long time. At a vacuum, water boils at much lower temperatures, but liquid water was probably inside of sealed pockets that also contained nutrients and other organisms like viruses.
We brought the bacteria from earth accidentally

Life is so resiliant and determined to spread that even our samples from outer space aren't safe. Makes you think life is practically unstoppable.
None of this makes sense. Did they not do any testing on known, sterilized samples ahead of time? Take some beach sand and heat it to a thousand degrees and do the same tests to verify your room is clean. How could they not be aware their procedures aren't effective enough to keep samples sterile? These people earn big money.
It is crazy that those germ can survive every sterilisation protocols and we being surrounded everywhere by them in our daily environments are yet not eaten alive X)
I wonder if it's possible for the contamination to be happening with the spacecraft itself inside the atmosphere.
Bacteria finds a way to survive on spacecraft > somehow survives lauch conditions (in nooks and crannies perhaps?) > spreads to the collection equipment > contaminates the sample at the moment of collection
The ALM presale is selling fast for a reason. People are really seeing the value in this project. Can’t wait to see what’s next for Alemio Network.
