Seeding the solar system with life: Mars, Venus, Earth, Moon, protoplanets.
2020
In the space of the entire universe, the only conclusive evidence of life, is found on Earth. Although the
ultimate source of all life is unknown, many investigators believe Earth, Mars, and Venus may have been seeded with life
when these planets, and the sun, were forming in a galactic cluster of thousands of stars and protoplanets. Yet others
hypothesize that while and after becoming established members of this solar system, these worlds became contaminated
with life during the heavy bombardment phase when struck by millions of life-bearing meteors, asteroids, comets and
oceans of ice. Because bolide impacts may eject tons of life-bearing debris into space, and as powerful solar winds may
blow upper atmospheric organisms into space, these three planets may have repeatedly exchanged living organisms for
billions of years. In support of these hypotheses is evidence suggestive of stromatolites, algae, and lichens on Mars, fungi
on Mars and Venus, and formations resembling fossilized acritarchs and metazoans on Mars, and fossilized impressions
resembling microbial organisms on the lunar surface, and dormant microbes recovered from the interior of a lunar
camera. The evidence reviewed in this report supports the interplanetary transfer hypothesis and that Earth may be
seeding this solar system with life.
