The ancient lifeforms in Earth’s deep biome are rewriting the rules of biology, forcing us to redefine the absolute limits of survival. The existence of this subterranean alien world provides a tantalising blueprint: could life also be hiding beneath the surface of other planets across the cosmos? ▀▀▀▀▀▀ Subscribe to the channel! https://youtube.com/@AstrumEarth Support our Patreon and you’ll get early access to Astrum Earth content, before anyone else: https://bit.ly/4aiJZNF ▀▀▀▀▀▀ Check out the other Astrum channels for videos about space and astronomy: Astrum: https://www.youtube.com/@astrumspace Astrum Extra: https://www.youtube.com/@astrumextra Astrum Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6jPRrbq3o3dpvBb173ZTKi?si=a90d3efe3b704c83 Astrum Infographic Artwork: https://electrify.art/collections/astrum Astrum Displate Posters: https://astrumspace.info/Displates Astrum Merch: https://astrum-shop.fourthwall.com/ Join us on the Astrum discord: https://discord.gg/TKw8Hpvtv8 ▀▀▀▀▀▀ References: “Scientists Reveal a Massive Biosphere of Life Hidden Under Earth's Surface”, via sciencealert.com https://bit.ly/biospherediscovered “The biomass distribution on Earth”, via pnas.org https://bit.ly/biomassdistribution “What are archaea?”, via science.org https://bit.ly/whatarearchaea “The Deep, Dark Energy Biosphere: Intraterrestrial Life on Earth”, via annualreviews.org https://bit.ly/deepbiomereview “Prokaryotes: The unseen majority”, via pnas.org https://bit.ly/unseenprokaryotes “Deep-sea smokers: Windows to a subsurface biosphere?”, via sciencedirect.com https://bit.ly/deepseasmokers “Insights into piezophily from genetic studies on the deep-sea bacterium, Photobacterium profundum SS9”, via wiley.com https://bit.ly/PprofundumSS9 “Slow Microbial Life in the Seabed”, via archive.org https://bit.ly/slowmicrobes “Deep-Sea Microbes Exert the Least Amount of Energy Possible to Survive”, via smithsonianmag.com https://bit.ly/energylimit “Stars of the terrestrial deep subsurface: A novel ‘star-shaped’ bacterial morphotype from a South African platinum mine”, via cloudfront.net https://bit.ly/starbacteria “The biomass and biodiversity of the continental subsurface”, via nature.com https://bit.ly/deepbiomecells “The deep, hot biosphere” https://bit.ly/deephotbiosphere ▀▀▀▀▀▀ Credits Narrator: James Stewart Producers: Alex McColgan, James Stewart Writers: Edie Abrahams, Marric Stephens Video Editor: Daniel Burgin Animator: Peter Sheppard Researcher: Edie Abrahams Thumbnail Designer: Peter Sheppard Channel Manager: Georgina Brenner Creator: Alex McColgan ▀▀▀▀▀▀ #AstrumEarth #Astrum #DeepBiome #Biosphere
