Algae-like structures inside a Sri Lankan meteorite are clear evidence of panspermia, the idea that life exists throughout the Universe, say astrobiologists
I always try to remember that most new studies are later found out to be wrong. Â Still, interesting stuff.

Looks like this research has some issues.  Like I just said always try to remember that most new studies are later found out to be wrong.  Thanks to +Marko Bosscher in the comments for pointing out some discussion about why this is likely bunk.

Good find.
As soon as I read Sri Lanka and panspermia the memory of this discussion was triggered, because I'd been really excited at the time (and then really disappointed)..
