🔥 NASA-backed scientists discovered Incendiamoeba cascadensis, a complex organism thriving at 145°F (63°C), setting a new upper temperature record for eukaryotes.

💧 This "fire amoeba" is active up to 147°F (64°C), challenging previous assumptions about the heat limits for complex life with delicate internal structures like a nucleus.

🧬 Studying such extremophiles helps astrobiologists understand the potential for life on other planets by pushing the known boundaries of survival in extreme environments.
