Astronomers find 'alien' asteroids living in our solar system

Rohan

"Scientists In the last few years have studied the first observed interstellar visitors to our solar system. They include a comet called 2I/Borisov, spotted in 2019 and still passing through, and an asteroid called 'Oumuamua that zipped through quickly in 2017. Now, astronomers have identified a more permanent outsider presence in our solar system. It's a group of interstellar asteroids that checked in a long time ago and never left. And they've been hiding in plain sight for billions of years, according to a new study published this week in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. These asteroids were likely around when our solar system was forming 4.5 billion years ago. They originated in a different star system. And when our solar system was forming, it was likely closer to other baby star systems as well." Source: https://edition.cnn.com/2020/04/26/world/alien-asteroids-solar-system-scn-trnd/index.html. Maybe these asteroids have alien lifeforms!

Judgement

Not to burst your bubble, but there's a very minimal chance that life can exist on asteroids, especially ones that resemble Mathilde. : The highest chance of finding alien life rests on exoplanets! But boy, would it be exciting if life found a sustainable way to live on these asteroids.

I read somewhere that long desired "life" on Mars that's still not really found, could be "endangered" by microorganisms on robots we send there to explore, it would be highly awkward, if anything similar to sth considered "living" would end up of Earth's origin just because of our carelessness XD It was only some kind of funny warning I guess... if it's even possible, don't know And I think there is one organism capable of "surviving" in space, it was tardigrade I think, but it's still looong far from the actual living...
