Here is Something Far Out!

I mean really far out- biological "cells" that appear to lack DNA, but are able to reproduce:

The Red Rain of Kerala

The red rain fell in India in 2001. The rain particles have the appearence of cells, but lacking DNA (apparently), are thought to possibly be extraterrestrial in origin, most likely from the debris of a comet.

This could lend support to the idea of "panspermia"- that life was seeded on Earth from elsewhere.

This is definitely an interesting story which I will be hoping to follow and hear more about.
