Did We Accidentally Leave Life On The Moon In 2019 – And Could We Revive It?A digital image showing a tardigrade floating against a white background. The eight legged creature has its characteristic small mouth piece in the shape of a cone protruding from its head. The image has given it a brownish colour, so that it looks like it is made of amber held up against the light. Floating around it are other microscopic things that appear as brown blobs.
