For the first time, astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) have identified microbes in space without having to samples back to Earth for tests.
The crew also watched "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" during the weekend. Astronaut Mark Vande Hei tweeted a photo of the astronauts aboard the space station enjoying the flick.
David Coil, the co-author of the study, says that the finding is actually "reassuring" because it is probably a signature of a healthy spacecraft.
