NASA’s Perseverance rover has found possible hints of ancient life on Mars― one of the strongest signs yet of Martian life, according to planetary scientists. Dark-rimmed ‘leopard spots ...

A stunning discovery on Mars has revealed the longest organic molecules ever found on the planet—carbon chains that could ...

For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that certain lichen species can survive Mars-like conditions, including ...

So, apart from Mars, the search for other forms of life is focused on satellites, especially those orbiting Jupiter and Saturn. Europa and Enceladus – moons of Jupiter and Saturn, respectively ...

A recent experiment has shown that certain lichen species can remain metabolically active in an environment similar to that ...

The efforts made by humans to learn as much as possible about Mars are numerous ... to expand what the possible scenarios of microbial life may have been. In short, a surprising discovery that ...

Mars can host life, according to Polish researchers, after demonstrating lichen's survival under simulated Mars-like ...

New findings indicate that Mars' past conditions may have supported microbial life. Research draws parallels with extremophiles—microorganisms that thrive in extreme environments on Earth.

Two NASA rovers on Mars recently made two independent discoveries further indicating that ancient life may have once existed on the Red Planet. The U.S. space agency's Perseverance and Curiosity ...

The discovery is one of the most significant findings in the search for evidence of past life on Mars. This is because, on Earth at least, relatively complex, long-chain carbon molecules are ...

The molecules cannot currently be confirmed as evidence of past life on the red planet, but they add to the growing list of compounds that robotic explorers have discovered on Mars in recent years.

These results challenge the assumption that ionising radiation is an insurmountable barrier to life on Mars and set the stage for further research on the potential for extraterrestrial microbial ...
