Today's leading meteorological phenomenon is, without a doubt, one of the most that has attracted the curiosity of the whole world. And is that, Can you imagine that you are walking through your city, and suddenly the rain begins to fall ... red?
Red rain has been seen in several science fiction movies, and it is even said that when it happens it is because the Apocalypse is coming or that it is the blood of God. But, What is it really?
Although it is a very strange phenomenon that occurs very rarely, in India they are getting used (as much as a person can get used to this event) that, since 1896, the red rain surprises them. In the Kerala region in 2001 in addition to being able to see the unusual red rain, they were also able to enjoy the spectacle of see yellow, black and green rain fall from the sky.
However, it was not until the red rain that fell in 2006 that this phenomenon began to be studied, which, when observing a few drops of this rain through the microscope, scientists could see cells ... that could come from somewhere in the Universe . Indeed, it was rumored that they could be extraterrestrial cells. Something that the Indian Government denied since thanks to other studies related to rains of other colors, they were able to know that in those cases it was algae spores dispersed through the atmosphere. But… Could that also be the explanation why sometimes the rain was red?

In 2010, researchers realized that the cells from the red rain that they saw under the microscope did not have any DNA sign, but they did show extremophilic characteristics, that is, they are capable of living in very extreme conditions. They can even be played at a temperature of 121 degrees.
Incredible true?
