MARS

Mars in the past

Volcanoes on mars erupted to produce water.

Cool conditions led to freezing of water on its surface.

What would life need to exist on mars ?

Possibility of life on Mars?

Mars surveyor program of NASA sent five space crafts between 1996 and 2005.

In July 1996 scientists discovered possible fossils of bacteria in meteorite from mars.

Analysis & conclusion

Fossils were 1000 times smaller than the smallest bacteria.

Fossil was found to be made of many different chemical compounds.
