Could the moon soon be home to frozen biological samples of Earth's endangered creatures? New research suggests scientists could use naturally occurring lunar cold spots, some of which haven't seen sunlight for billions of years, to do just this.
Recent studies have shown that as many as 8 million species exist on Earth, and over 1 million of these are under threat of extinction. Worryingly, this estimate could be the tip of the iceberg, as there could be many species that could become extinct before they have even been identified.
