Microbial life

SwRI researchers are expanding corrosion modeling software to predict if icy worlds such as Saturn’s moon Enceladus may be able to harbor microbial life. In this cross-polarized light microscope image, pores are visible in glycine-doped ice formed in a laboratory investigation of Enceladus’ subsurface conditions. These pores could form habitable niches for microbial life.

‘Wild’ Number of Viruses Found in Household Bathrooms

In July 2024, NASA's Perseverance rover found "leopard spots" on a reddish rock called "Cheyava Falls" in Mars' Jezero Crater. Scientists suggest these spots might indicate that chemical reactions in the rock billions of years ago could have supported microbial life. Other explanations are also being explored.
