Geologists at Washington University in St. Louis have developed new theoretical calculations on how life might have arisen on Earth, Mars and other celestial bodies from volcanic gases.
Hands Off the Planet? How Finding Life On Mars Could Stop Exploration
Could finding life on Mars be a biological show-stopper, a discovery that would slow down or even halt plans to send humans there? The issue of life on Mars serves as a double-edged sword, where scientific passion and ethics cuts both ways.
Life’s Rusty Old Debate
Two geology professors at The University of Texas at Austin, Dr. Robert L. Folk and Dr. Kitty L. Milliken, have demonstrated that iron oxide filaments from a variety of geological periods on Earth are lifelike in form at microscopic levels. They say their research could have implications for Martian exploration and the search for some form of life on other planets.
From Volcanoes To Life On Mars
Was there ever life on Mars? That question may one day be answered in part by research now being conducted by a University at Buffalo geologist who studies volcanoes on earth.
Is Mars Littered With The Residues Of Dead Life?
The surface of Mars could be littered with the chemical residues of life. Previous missions to the planet were simply not equipped to detect them, researchers claim.
Team probes Mars’ science and fiction Florida Today
Lecture/book signing by Dead Mars, Dying Earth author John Brandenburg: Dead Mars, Dying Earth theorizes the comet responsible for gouging Mars’ 120-mile wide Lyot impact crater 500 million years ago also blasted organic seed debris onto Earth, which in turn hastened the evolution of primitive aquatic life.
Search for Life Takes Two Women to the Depths
Imagine a world of green slime, red goo and dripping, bacteria-rich mineral formations known fondly as “snottites.” You are entering a little patch of underground heaven — a subsurface step on the road to learning whether Mars is a locale for past or present life.
