Was alien life in "hot water" on Mars billions of years ago? New evidence from the Martian meteorite "Black Beauty" suggests so.

It’s one small step for man, one potential giant leap for Martiankind. Scientists have identified a region on Mars that could support living organisms, potentially bringing us a step closer to discovering life there.

By analyzing data from various Mars missions, the team has identified a subsurface zone, between 4.3 and 8.8 kilometres deep, where conditions could support microbial activity.

Scientists have identified Acidalia Planitia on Mars as a potential hotspot for alien life, with conditions ideal for bacteria survival.

Researchers have identified an 1,800-mile-wide plain in the northern hemisphere of Mars that may currently host alien life. Microbial life could, in theory, lurk beneath the plain's surface.
