The universe is exposed to strong ultraviolet rays and extreme temperatures ranging from -100°C to 100°C. Dr. Kawaguchi has been studying the mysteries of life in such extreme environments. Dr. Kawaguchi, who will give a lecture this time, is studying the mysteries of life that can survive in such extreme environments. Currently, the "Dandelion Project" is underway on the ISS (International Space Station) to collect microorganisms ejected from the earth and dust from space that falls to the earth, and to conduct experiments to expose earth's microorganisms to outer space. Join Dr. Kawaguchi, who is participating in this project, for a trip to the world of "biology x space," where the mysteries of living things are investigated on a cosmic scale!
