Space 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 #Science
