Life on Mars

"Life on Mars" refers to the scientific pursuit of understanding whether the average conditions on Mars could have supported life in the past or might still harbor it today. Mars has signs of ancient water and a thin atmosphere, raising the possibility that microbial life could exist or have existed there. Ongoing missions explore the planet’s surface, analyzing rocks and soil for organic molecules and other life indicators. Discovering life on Mars would deepen our understanding of life's resilience and origins in the universe, offering profound insights into whether life is unique to Earth or more widespread.
