Are we alone in the universe? And if there are aliens out there, what are they like?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Read two mind-boggling extracts from the book below\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">ARE YOU AN ALIEN FROM MARS?<\/h1>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Are-you-an-alien-from-Mars-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"813\" height=\"1023\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Are-you-an-alien-from-Mars-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-222936\" style=\"width:267px;height:335px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">There is a theory that life on Earth could have come from space. In other words, humans might actually be aliens! Incredibly, more than 250 meteorites from Mars have been found on Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Some scientists believe that meteorites like these may have brought ancient Martian life to our planet, and so experts have dissected these Martian rocks, hoping to find ancient fossilised microbes. So far, no signs of fully-formed life have been found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">But if we do one day find microbes in a Martian meteorite \u2013 it\u2019s not impossible that these tiny \u2018Martians\u2019 took hold on our watery planet, thrived and evolved into the vast and varied living zoo we see today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">WATER BEARS IN SPACE!<\/h1>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Water-bears-in-space.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"813\" height=\"1023\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Water-bears-in-space.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-222942\" style=\"width:259px;height:327px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">In 2019, an uncrewed spacecraft crash-landed on the Moon, spilling its living cargo of tardigrades across the lunar dust. Also called \u2018water bears,\u2019 these tiny 1mm creatures with eight legs and cute little paws generally live in water, but if they dry out they go into a sort of hibernation and shut down until they get wet again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Tardigrades can live for up to 30 years in this \u2018suspended animation,\u2019 if the conditions are right. Hopefully, one day, we\u2019ll return to the Moon and pick up the water bears from the crash site. It will be incredible to sprinkle on a little water and see whether they come back to life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">ABOUT THE AUTHOR<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:28% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"758\" height=\"790\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Lisa-Harvey-Smith-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-222970 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Author Professor Lisa Harvey-Smith is an award-winning astronomer and Australia\u2019s Women in STEM Ambassador.
