about our close neighbour in space. They want to investigate further into the possibility of life on
Mars.
Scientists’ interrest in the Red Planet is based on an assumption. They believe that 4.5
billion years ago, Mars and Earth began their existence under the similar conditions. During the first
billion years, liquid water- in contrast to ice- was abundant on the surface of Mars. This is an
indication that Mars was much warmer at that time. Mars also had a thicker atmosphere of
carbondioxide (CO2). Many scientists think it is possibly that life began under these favourable
conditions. After all, Earth had the same conditions during its first billion year, when life arose. At
some point in time, Earth developed an atmosphere which is rich in oxygen, and an ozone layer.
Ozone (O3) is a form of oxygen. The ozone layer protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet light
from the Sun. While life not only began on Earth, it also survived and became more complex. In
contrast, Mars lost its thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide. Ultraviolet radiation intensified. The
planet eventually grew colder, and its water froze.(…).
Scientists believe there are other areas on Mars that are similar to specific places on Earth
which support life. For example, an area in Antarctica, southern Victoria Land, which is not
covered by ice, resembles an area on Mars. In its dry valleys, the temperature in southern Victoria
Land averages below zero, yet biologists found simple life forms ( microorganisms ) in rocks and
frozen lakes. Perhaps this is also true of places on Mars.
Scientists want another investigation on Mars. They want to search for fossils, the ancient
remains of life. If life ever existed on Mars, future missions may find records of it under sand on or
in the ice.
Even if future missions discover no evidence of past or present life on Mars, the new
missions may clarify our understanding of how life begins. Scientists will better understand the
conditions that are necessary for survival of life – on Earth or in the universe. They will look for the
answers to other intriguing questions. How is the earth different from Mars? How can we explain
the development of life here on our planet and not on Mars, our close neighbour? Are we alone in
the universe ?
