A strangely shaped depression on Mars could be a new place to look for signs of life on the Red Planet, according to a University of Texas at Austi

It’s one of science’s oldest questions.

Despite the obvious doom and gloom associated with mass extinctions, they have a tendency to capture our imagination.

One criticism of astrobiology is the tendency to look for familiar carbon-based life that would thrive in the presence of water.
