This is really cool. Basically, this red rain was in India and they took a sample of it. Their findings show a strange red-colored cell that on first attempt did not contain any DNA but is able to reproduce. They think that DNA is there, because with our limited knowledge if it does not have DNA, it cannot be alive...but it has been proven to reproduce, so they are trying to explain it. Some people think its dust or red blood cells but nothing on earth has so far explained this anomoly. They think that maybe these microbes were brought in by a comet or something and was added to the atmosphere, to be mixed with rain.

Oh yeah...this stuff can survive in water heated up to 600 degrees F.
