Dusty Snow on Mars Could Harbor Life According to a New NASA Simulation
If life exists on Mars, a creature would have to withstand radiation and have access to water. One potential niche fulfilling these requirements? Dusty ice.
NASA discovers potential habitats for microbial life on Mars
A recent study by NASA has found small patches on Mars that could harbor life. These areas are thought to be capable of converting sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into oxygen through photosynthesis.
Microbial life may exist in Martian frozen water pools, study finds
Although evidence of life on Mars hasn’t been discovered during any of NASA's robotic missions yet, scientists believe it could be a different story in small pools of water under the surface.
Some spots on Mars could have the potential to support life: Study
A new study speculates about whether there may be some places on Mars where the conditions are right to support life – even if it’s just microscopic plants that survive through photosynthesis. “Martian ice exposures are probably one of the most accessible places we should be looking” for life on the red planet,
Is there life on Mars? NASA’s new study hints at hidden alien hideouts
Aditya Khuller, a Research Fellow at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, spilled the cosmic tea in an interview with Space.com. He explained how Mars is a bit of a rebel—unlike Earth, it doesn’t have a protective ozone layer,
NASA study led by Indian researcher proposes life on Mars could be thriving in meltwater beneath the surface ice
The study, which is published in Nature Communications Earth & Environment, focused on water ice formed from ancient snow mixed with dust during Martian ice ages. Researchers found that dark dust particles within the ice could absorb sunlight,
