After the discovery of water .. Is there life on Mars?

Scientists used a radar aboard a spaceship to observe what they said yesterday was a large salt lake under the ice covering the plains of Antarctica, a reservoir of Water that they have described as a potential habitat for microbial life. It is about 20 kilometers in diameter and is about 1.5 kilometers below the surface of the ice

The reservoir represents the first mbad of liquid water ever found on Mars.

The question of life elsewhere than on the planet The most important in science, the new findings provide encouraging but no more promising signs

The researchers said that it would take years to check whether it was safe. There was something alive in this body of water that looks like a lake under the ice, perhaps by a future expedition that digs into the ice to take water samples. "It's a place on Mars where we find something very similar to a place where there can be life," Urucci said. "This kind of environment is not a place where there is life."

A great place for a vacation, or a place where fish swim. But there are actually organisms that can survive and grow in similar environments. Precise organisms on Earth are able to survive even in the ice. "

Scientists monitored the lake using data collected between May 2012 and December 2015 by a device on board the Mars Express spacecraft of the European Space Agency, which penetrates the surface of Mars and layers of ice cream.
