Study presented at the 56th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (LPSC 2025) Could microbes survive in the permanently shadowed regions (PSRs) of the moon? This study has the potential to help researchers better understand unlikely locations where they could find life as we know it throughout the solar system.
The lunar PSRs are devoid of sunlight due to the moon's axial tilt, which is approximately 1.5 degrees with respect to sun.
Dr. Moores says, "It is less a question of planetary protection than of preserving the PSRs in as close to a pristine state as possible" If there are microbes at the lunar PSRs, the question then becomes how they arrived there.
Given the heavily-cratered surface of the moon, they could have arrived from an impacting body.
