Life Out There

Another Saturday and lots of rest and mental relaxation……

For a year or more I have been writing about stories of ET (may never get on Ancient Aliens)………..there seems to be stories pointing to the possibility of left here started out there…..

A new study from NASA postulates that if life ever existed on Mars, it was probably underground.

Ever since clay minerals were discovered on Mars in 2005, scientists have thought warm and wet conditions that could have supported life may have existed, according to NASA. That’s because clay is formed when water and rock interact with each other.

According to NASA, the study, which is published in the current issue of the journal Nature, backs up a hypothesis that warm water was present only on the planet’s surface for geologically short periods of time.

“If surface habitats were short-term, that doesn’t mean we should be glum about prospects for life on Mars, but it says something about what type of environment we might want to look in,” Bethany Ehlmann, the lead author of the paper and a scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said in a statement. “The most stable Mars habitats over long durations appear to have been in the subsurface. On Earth, underground geothermal environments have active ecosystems.”

But we can’t rule anything out. Space.com notes that just because the water on the surface was only present for a short time doesn’t mean it couldn’t have been habitable.

There seems to be more and more about Mars…..is it a matter of time until Mars Attacks?  Think Marvin the Martian!
