Radiation-tolerant microbes might be able to survive beneath Mars’ surface for hundreds of millions of years, a new study suggests.

Ancient bacteria might be sleeping beneath the surface of Mars, where it has been shielded from the harsh radiation of space for millions of years, according to new research.

Scientists found that ancient bacteria could survive close to the surface on Mars much longer than previously assumed.

This is important both for our search for life, and for potential contamination of the Red Planet.

Here on Earth, life finds a way in some of our most extreme and unlikely environments, so it's possible that microbial life may have once eked a living on our neighboring red planet, too.

New research suggests that signs of ancient Martian life could be out there – or rather, hidden deep under the Martian surface, safe from harmful radiation.

In a first-of-its-kind study, a researchers found that ancient bacteria could survive close to the surface on Mars much longer than previously assumed. If bacteria evolved on Mars when water last flowed billions of years ago, they might still be living in Mars' subsurface.
