Scientists have been hunting for any trace of life on planet Mars for decades and now a new study has spilled out the details of the past climatic conditions on the Red Planet which has dampened down their hopes of encountering an alien life.

Mars was once an iceball. Here's what past climatic history of the Red Planet hints at about existence of life

The idea of life existing elsewhere in the solar system has always captured the imagination of mankind. Many years, Mars has been considered the ideal candidate by scientists to set up a future space colony.

The hunt for life on Mars has continued for decades as scientists try to find even the slightest hint of the presence of living creatures. NASA’s Curiosity rover, which has been moving on the surface of Mars, has now spent nearly 12 years solving the mystery of life on the Red Planet.

NASA finds organic matter in Mars crater. What does this mean about life on Red Planet?

A team of scientists, headed by ETH Zurich and Imperial College London, has found a never-known global meteorite impact on Mars with the help of seismic data. According to their new findings, nearly 280 to 360 meteorites have been hitting the planet every year and creating craters greater than 8 metres (about 26 feet) across.

An astrobiology professor has claimed that life on Mars was discovered 50 years ago but quickly eradicated. Dirk Schulze-Makuch, a faculty member at the Technical University Berlin, has made the sensational claim, saying we may have got lucky with discovering extraterrestrial life, only to destroy it unintentionally.

Data from NASA's insight lander has made a startling revelation that Mars' rotation is undergoing an acceleration of approximately 4 milliarcseconds per year. By studying the data scientists achieved the most precise measurement of mars' rotation to date and further research is likely to reveal more insights about the red planet.

The image of a mysterious doughnut-shaped rock was captured on the surface of the red planet by the Mars rover Perseverance. The Perseverance rover, which was launched in July 2020, has been exploring the 28-mile-wide (45-kilometre-wide) Jezero Crater of the planet and looking for ancient microbial life's signs, as per NASA.
