"A paper to appear in a scientific journal claims a strange red rain might have dumped microbes from space onto Earth four years ago.

"The researchers didn't dispute the panspermia theory itself, which has a substantial scientific following. "Panspermia may well be possible," wrote Lynn J. Rothschild of the NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif., in an email. "I'm just not so sure that this is a case of it."
It's getting publication in a peer-review journal, so we may be able to follow this one, with care. I doubt the Sun will do follow-ups.
Unless the stuff does start breeding and it's the end of the world.
