Recent glass traces on Mars’ surface suggest early signs of life might have existed on the Red Planet many years ago. The finding was confirmed by researchers at NASA after analyzing the samples collected from the celestial body. Many hypotheses have been put forth in relation to the possibility of life to have pre-existed on the Red Planet. Mars is the planet that has the right characteristics … [Read more...]
Spikes in Martian Methane Could Rekindle Life on Red Planet Hypothesis
Scientists have found new information that might rekindle the hypothesis of life on the red planet: spikes in Martian methane. The Curiosity Rover recorded an enormous spike which peaked for two months and then disappeared. The newest theory is that such increases in methane levels might be explained by the presence of biological organisms: bacteria, scientists say, could be responsible for such … [Read more...]
NASA Discovers Strange Mars Formation
NASA has released pictures of a strange-looking formation on the Mars surface. Some say the strange Mars formation looks like a “brain”, other claim it kind of resembles a cookie. The recently found formation is circular in shape and NASA said is about 2 km wide. Scientists said about the strange Mars formation that it looks like a brain, a cookie or even like a deformed waffle. The strange … [Read more...]
NASA ‘Curiosity’ Rover Takes its First Bite Out of Mars
NASA wants to understand what happened to the Red Planet. Mars was once a wet and warm. How could it turn so cold and dry? For this purpose it has sent the rover, Curiosity, to drill the first sample-collection hole into Mount Sharp. NASA declared in a statement that the rover's hammering drill chewed approximately 2.6 inches into the basal-layer to collect powdered-rock sample. This was last … [Read more...]
NASA Search for Life on mars led by Brisbane Woman
The NASA team that will be searching for life on Mars will be led by one of the top 10 scientific minds of the world, Dr. Abigail Allwood, described as an extraordinarily brilliant woman. Working at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, Dr. Allwood is the main investigator for the 2020 Mars Rover program that NASA is preparing. The Brisbane scientist is the first non-US … [Read more...]
Special Martian meteorite suggests Mars has carbon based life once
A new study of a Martian meteorite found in Antarctica says that the Red Planet was wet once, suggesting it supported life once. Moreover, the rock that originated on Mars and fell to Earth during the Stone Age also contains carbon-rich spheres and tunnels that possibly suggest presence of microorganisms on the Martian land millions of years ago. There have been other interesting Mars rocks found … [Read more...]
