Life on Mars

Scientific assessments on the microbial habitability of Mars

The possibility of life on Mars is a subject of interest in astrobiology due to its proximity and similarities to Earth. To date, no proof of past or present life has been found on Mars. Cumulative evidence suggests that during the ancient Noachian time period, the surface environment of Mars had liquid water and may have been habitable for microorganisms. But, the existence of habitable conditions does not necessarily indicate the presence of life.
