New research brings up interesting possibilities.
Well, imagine the possibility that life of some kind did exist on Mars. And, with the recent discovery of 250 million year old bacteria trapped in the salty brine of an ancient earthly ocean, we know that bacteria can survive an incredibly long time. The researchers who conducted the study at Caltech, in Pasadena, California, have written an article about their discovery for The Planetary Society's bi-monthly magazine, The Planetary Report . Planetary Society members will soon be receiving the full feature article, complete with illustrations, in next month's issue of The Planetary Report . All rights reserved.
