    What do you mean by “coming from?” We get scientific knowledge from it. If you mean something physical, we are planning to do a sample return mission by the end of the decade. For something not from us, we very very occasionally get done ejects from it. The chances of anything being alive are basically nil.

      I wouldn’t really say nil for the sample planned to take back to Earth. Microbial (or similar size) is very much possible, as life itself most likely didn’t originate on Earth, so chances are it got in other parts of our solar system.
