Is there Life on Red Planet ? Mars Mystery

Woman face on Mars, Life on Mars ?

The real search for life on Mars may require human explorers to drill deep into the subsurface of the red planet.

Spacecraft visiting Mars have returned intriguing images of the surface of the Red Planet for over forty years. Many of these images suggest liquid water once flowed on the surface of Mars. The ViewSpace program *Mars: The Search for Water, the Search for Life* looks at some of these images and compares them to similar features found on the Earth and addresses possible consequences of finding liquid water on Mars. The content of this program was developed by Andrew Shaner, member of the Phoenix Mission Team and graduate student. Principal Investigator, Peter Smith helped Andy develop the content for this ViewSpace program. ViewSpace is produced by John Stoke and the informal education group of NASA Hubble Space Telescope Education and Public Outreach program.
