In a new study, researchers are suggesting something radical: that the Red Planet may be hosting life under its icy exterior. Researchers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory are positing that Mars' water ice deposits,

Could microbes endure just beneath the surface of Mars, in exposed layers of dusty ice? Scientists say such places are worth checking out.

NASA researchers have proposed that beneath Mars’ frozen surface, meltwater pools could potentially support microbial life. Using computer models, scientists believe that sunlight filtering through dusty ice could create the right conditions for photosynthesis to occur in shallow subsurface water.

A NASA study proposes life could find a potential home beneath frozen water on the planet’s surface. The post Life on Mars? NASA thinks they know where to look appeared first on Talker.

Life on Mars could potentially exist beneath the planet’s frozen surface, according to a new NASA study. The research suggests that microbes might find refuge in meltwater under the ice, similar to environments found on Earth.

While actual evidence for life on Mars has never been found, a new NASA study proposes microbes could find a potential home beneath frozen water on the planet's surface.

Photosynthetic habitable zones' could exist beneath radiation-filtering ice on Mars, offering scientists another region in which to hunt for alien life.

While actual evidence for life on Mars has never been found, a new NASA study proposes microbes could find a potential home beneath frozen water on the planet’s surface. Through computer modeling, the study’s authors have shown that the amount of sunlight that can shine through water ice would be enough for photosynthesis to occur in shallow pools of meltwater below the surface of that ice.
