75% Informative

Chinese astronauts aboard the Tiangong space station are studying anaerobic archaea in an experiment to determine if some of Earth 's early forms of life can handle a simulated cosmic environment.

The archaea consume hydrogen and carbon dioxide, in turn producing methane as a waste product.

The research aims to test their survival under Mars -like conditions and extreme cosmic radiation.
