As far as anyone knows, there’s no life currently sticking it out on Mars. The Red Planet may have conditions suitable for life, especially deep underground, but scientists haven’t been able to actually confirm it. For now, looking for signs of past life on the surface is as close as we’re going to get to Martian life, and NASA’s Curiosity rover may have actually found it.
Many months ago, NASA announced that its trusty rover had found what has been described as organic molecules. These compounds could have been created by some biological process — which would mean life existed at some point on Mars — or by other, non-biological means. Now, a new research paper published in Astrobiology examines the possible biological routes by which the compounds could have been created.
