Meteorites found on Mars there is warm water

Hydrothermal cracks around Martian impact craters could be suitable places for living organisms, according to scientists.

The new study, manner jointly by the University of Leicester and the Open University, led by lead author John Bridges of the University of Leicester has determined that the temperature on Mars were in the range of about 50 to 150 degrees Celsius. On Earth, microbes can survive in such an environment, such as the volcanic thermal hot springs of Yellowstone National Park, USA, suggest the researchers.
