For over 100 years, scientists have been puzzling over a blood-red liquid seeping out of a glacier in Antarctica. Until now.
Their discovery could even help us find life on Mars.For over a century, scientists have been puzzling over a mysterious, blood-red liquid that's been seeping out of a glacier in Antarctica.
They took samples of the red liquid and examined them under a highly specialized transmission electron microscope — and found something surprising, which could even have implications for our search for alien life on other planets. The existence of these mysterious nanospheres, which haven't been detected until now, runs counter to the prevailing theory that the blood-red liquid was caused by an abundance of minerals.
Their existence also sheds new light on the microorganisms and bacteria that have lived for "potentially millions of years underneath the saline waters of the Antarctic glacier," according to Livi.Interestingly, Livi is a planetary scientist who has studied ways of analyzing biomaterials on Earth and beyond.
