Deer lichen diary

Here's another clue to my fascination with deer lichen on the Emerald Coast of Florida, USA. On the Universe Today website comes news that lichen can survive in space. This sheds new light on the question as to how life travels here, perhaps as lichen on meteorites. This will lead to more experiments. Personally, this news might connect my lichen and meteorite encounters.

I found an article closer to the source at http://www.esa.int/esaHS/SEMUJM638FE_index_0.html, the ESA Biopan facility that launched the Foton-M2 lichens experiment. ESA is the European Space Agency.
