NASA Says Martian Ice Might Hide Clues of Ancient Life

NASA Just Found Out Mars Ice Can Store Ancient Life for 50 Million Years

Frozen deep beneath the Martian surface, traces of ancient life could have survived undisturbed for tens of millions of years. A new NASA-led study reveals that pure ice on Mars might protect organic material for up to 50 million years, making it a promising target in the search for past life on the Red Planet. The research conducted by a team at NASA Goddard and Penn State University, suggests that frozen Martian environments are far more capab…

New Study Hints at Hidden Life Under Mars’ Frozen Terrain

Could life on Mars still exist — or at least its chemical ghosts? A new study is reigniting the search for life on Mars by suggesting that traces of long-dead microorganisms could still be preserved beneath the planet’s icy surface. Scientists have found that microscopic remains—like amino acids, the essential molecules that form proteins—might survive for up to 50 million years under Martian conditions, provided they’re sealed in pure ice. The …

NASA Says Martian Ice Might Hide Clues of Ancient Life

A NASA study suggests that traces of ancient life could be locked in Martian ice. Lab tests freezing bacteria under Mars-like radiation revealed amino acids can persist for tens of millions of years....
