New Analysis of Viking Mission Results Indicates Presence of Life on Mars
We may already have ?met? Martian organisms, according to a paper presented
Sunday (Jan. 7) at the meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Seattle.
Dirk Schulze-Makuch of Washington State University and Joop Houtkooper of
Justus-Liebig-University, Giessen, Germany, argue that even as new missions to
Mars seek evidence that the planet might once have supported life, we already
have data showing that life exists there now?data from experiments done by the
Viking Mars landers in the late 1970s.
?I think the Viking results have been a little bit neglected in the last 10
years or more,? said Schulze-Makuch. ?But actually, we got a lot of data there.?
He said recent findings about Earth organisms that live in extreme environments
and improvements in our understanding of conditions on Mars give astrobiologists
new ways of looking at the 30-year-old data.
