Bacteria

Carbon are protected inside the rocks.

Bacteria can live for a long time in sleep state until awakened.

Recent supportMeteors about 15 million years aged was found in Antarctica in 1984 by a team of scientists of annual United States government mission to search for meteors.

MODERN PANSPERMIA

Meteors act as the delivery devices

Possibilities of earth launching satellites

capable of transferring microorganisms in the

near future!!
