Scientists are surprised to see the relatives of mustard growing on the soil of the moonmoon.

The last time humans set foot on the moon was in 1972. Fifty years later, NASA has decided to send humans back to Earth's only satellite. Preparations are in full swing like that. Meanwhile, China and Russia have also jointly planned to build a lunar station.

But if you want to go to the moon, people need food to survive. Research began to find out if it was possible to meet that minimum standard of living. Match success. A piece of green was born on the ground of the moon! Astronauts brought soil from the moon during the Apollo mission half a century ago. The soil of the moon is also called Regolith.Some samples of Regolith were not used in the laboratory at that time but were left for the future. The intention was that later, when science is further developed, it will be tested. If there is another lunar mission ahead, this is the ideal time to use the old model. So recently, soil samples brought during the Apollo mission were taken out of Torang.

This is the first time that scientists have transmitted green life to that soil in the laboratory. According to NASA, this soil does not have much nutritional value. Among them was born Arabidopsis thaliana. Their vitality is very high. Don't die a little. The tree is found in Africa and Eurasia. They can be called relatives of mustard. Cruciferous species like broccoli, cauliflower. The University of Florida has done this in the laboratory.

If all goes well, maybe NASA will send people to the moon in the next few years. It has also been heard that this time, a woman and a black astronaut will cross the moon. His preparations are in full swing. The last time people went to the moon was 12 days. Plan a long trip to this bar.NASA chief Bill Nelson said: "We have been thinking for a long time about how to stay on the moon or Mars for a long time. I want to find food for this. If that arrangement is made, astronauts will be able to study from the moon. The lab opened the door to the possibility of a tree being born on the moon's soil. It was also understood how the tree can grow in adverse conditions. It may not be possible to grow as much as the earth. But the tree is born, they are sure.

In the Apollo 11, 12 and 17 missions, astronauts returned with lunar soil. Those samples are used in the laboratory. The seeds were watered in a little rigolith (one gram of soil for a tree). Fertilizer was also added. That is why the green seedlings are standing in the laboratory tray.Anna-Lisa Paul, a professor of horticulture, said: I can't explain how surprised we were! There were two types of trays. The seeds were sown in the moon soil in a kind of tray. In another tray the seeds are sown in the soil of the earth. In both cases there is a similar tree.

The trees were cut down from the ground just 20 days after flowering. It was then sent to RNA Sequencing. Genetic testing has shown that the response to Arabidopsis in adverse conditions is similar. Slightly weak. However, scientists say, "The fact is that the tree is born.
