Look at the dust in your apartment and try to imagine that some of it is particles of matter from space. It sounds incredible, but the fact is that every year about sixty tons of cosmic dust settles on Earth, which, as scientists note, can pose a rather serious threat to humanity.
Modern science is not yet aware of an allergy to cosmic dust, but it is known that a substance of extraterrestrial origin can be very harmful to the earth's biosphere.
“A special danger is posed by a substance of extragalactic origin, since its structural configuration may be completely alien to our world. Even a small amount of such dust can be enough to poison one or another terrestrial biome,”the ToDay News Ufa information resource quotes scientists.
Scientists fear that along with cosmic dust, some alien microorganisms may also penetrate to the Earth. True, they have not yet been discovered, but purely theoretically, of course, they can exist. In general, once you find yourself outside the Earth - do not forget, among other things, about the respirator.
