Incendiamoeba cascadensis can reproduce up to 63°C (145.4°F)

The archaean Methanopyrus kandleri can grow at 122°C, while among bacteria, Geothermobacterium ferrireducens can grow at temperatures up to 100°C

Evolution is beautiful. To me, it's the most beautiful process ever chronicled

the numbers put the idea of total extinction of life on earth way out there in the relm of the improbable, and suggest that perhaps some living things will survive the expansion of our sun, when it inevitably turns into a red giant, or at least till some later phase in that process it also means that irrate alliens looking to rid the universe of earth life, have got there work cut out for them

When the Sun turns into a red giant the water on Earth won't stay liquid for much longer. Lack of water will be a much bigger challenge for life before the planet hits that limit of 122°C.

I wouldn't be surprised if life on earth expands to other solar systems before the sun goes berserk. There's 5 billion years left

Or just the chillier bits of our own one.
