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,

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.

The ambitious exploration of Mars continues with every passing moment, and now experts have compiled a new study which states just how important dusty ice could be to indicating signs of life on the planet.

While evidence for life on Mars has never been found, a new NASA study proposes that 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.

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.

NASA study suggests that sunlight penetrating ice on Mars could support photosynthesis and possibly microbial life.

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.
