Info NASA-funded astrobiology research has changed the fundamental knowledge about what comprises all known life on Earth. Researchers conducting tests in the harsh environment of Mono Lake in California have discovered the first known microorganism on Earth able to thrive and reproduce using the toxic chemical arsenic. The microorganism substitutes arsenic for phosphorus in its cell components. This finding of an alternative biochemistry makeup will alter biology textbooks and expand the scope of the search for life beyond Earth.

Comment -- What does the picture depict, by the way?... Alvesgaspar (talk) 08:39, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
Oppose Nice background image with crappy looking insert... I say "nope". And it's not even valuable one - both images separately would tell their story. Masur (talk) 16:17, 3 December 2010 (UTC)- Oppose The placement of the inserted image is rather unfortunate. -- TFCforever (talk) 02:45, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
