Moon may host frozen samples of endangered species

New research proposes a lunar biorepository to preserve frozen samples of endangered species, utilizing the moon's cold spots, which have not seen sunlight for billions of years. With over 1 million species threatened on Earth, scientists aim to use cryopreservation techniques in these areas, where temperatures can drop below -321°F (-196°C). The project faces logistical challenges, including packaging, radiation protection, and international cooperation.
