Mars' Hidden Methane Deposits Could Be Underneath the Crust, Host Alien Life

Scientists have identified regions on Mars where conditions might support microbial life beneath the surface. Seasonal methane variations and Earth-based studies of similar environments suggest underground habitats such as Acidalia Planitia could hold the key. Methanogens, microbes that produce methane, thrive in extreme conditions on Earth, like subglacial lakes and ...
