'I calculate around 100,000 such grains could be landing on Earth every year.'
A proposed way to search for alien life using space dust ejected from other worlds has been published in theProfessor Tomonori Totani of the University of Tokyo's Department of Astronomy has a theory that revolves around massive asteroid impacts that have the ability to release ground matter into space. He believes there's a chance that recently deceased or even fossilized microbes could be found in some of the rocky debris in this impact's ejecta.
Yet, grains smaller than one micrometer can not only contain a single-celled organism specimen but also to completely escape their home solar system and, under the appropriate conditions, perhaps even flee to ours."My paper explores this idea using available data on the different aspects of this scenario," stated Totani.
Additionally, the odds become significantly lower when factoring in the numerous space phenomena that can potentially melt or irradiate tiny particles.
