There Could be Traces of Life beneath the Surface of Mars: Study

Various space agencies across the globe have launched or planned missions to explore the surface and atmosphere of Mars. Now, a study has suggested that life could exist below the surface of Mars. Atri asserted that repeated bombardment of penetrating Galactic Cosmic Rays may offer the energy to catalyse organic activity below the surface. "When the Rosalind Franklin rover on board the ExoMars mission, equipped with a subsurface drill, is launched in 2022, it will be well-suited to detect extant microbial life and hopefully provide some important insights," Atri added.
