Searching for Alien Life, on Earth
October 5, 2009 / Written by: Henry Bortman
Mono Lake, just east of Yosemite National Park, is a place of bizarre natural beauty. It also boasts one of the highest natural concentrations of arsenic on Earth. The latter fact, says geomicrobiologist Felisa Wolfe-Simon, makes it a good spot to look for alien life. This is why researchers funded by Exobiology and Evolutionary Biology (Exo/Evo) at the NASA Astrobiology Program have been searching the shores of Mono Lake for life whose biological makeup is fundamentally different than that of any known life on Earth.Source: [astrobio.net]

Seriously? This is the big news? We’ve known about extremophiles here on earth for decades. NASA’s been looking for water-based life all this time and never thought that there are other lifeforms that we know of on our own planet that might exist elsewhere?
