    Evidence of life found on Mars?

    A mosaic of images taken by the Mars Curiosity rover, showing where it drilled to discover ancient lake deposits indicating liquid water once existed. However, the same rocks revealed a lack of carbon dioxide at that time, paradoxically indicating that Mars would not have been warm enough for liquid water to pool on its surface. The site shows a region known as Sheepbed, where Curiosity drilled at targets ‘John Klein’ and ‘Cumberland’. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS
