There is life on mars, NASA just confirmed it
>>16781672No they didn't and no there isn't.
>>16781672reddit is over there, fella
>>16781672Life on mars, the cometz shootingsAre you distracted enough yet goy?Please fall for it
>>16781672>>iswas
>>16781672Welcome to the party.
>>16781672what's the point of showing olivine? that's an extremely common mineral
This is such a boomer tier discovery>OMG THERE IS LIFE OUTSIDE EARTHYeah? the opposite is literally impossible, this is a cool headline at best in 2025, we will never learn anything from these fozilised remains other than they were there and its simply not interesting unless you're very oldThe only people that dont believe there is life outside earth besides boomers who were children when the idea of it was novel are people following abrahamic faiths (mostly browns and americans) and they will claim its fake
>>16782540>the opposite is literally impossibleThere would still be a significant difference between maybe detecting life around another star that's many light years away and inaccessible, and detecting life here in our solar system which could be directly studied by humans in the near future. The latter would be a lot more compelling
>>16782572But it cant be studiedIts just primitive bacteria turned into rock
>>16782582That's like saying fossils on Earth can't be studied either. Even super old pre-Cambrian fossils here can and do provide some insight as to what the early and simpler life was like.Plus we don't know if Mars is entirely sterile and lifeless now. Fossils somewhere on it could mean there are living microbes somewhere else on it, like deep underground
>>16781672thats a muffin
>>16782540Wrong. These bacteria remains are as old as the first bacteria that showed up on earth. This is a profane discovery with 3 possible outcomes.Life originated on either world and jumped by impact events or by alien activityTwo biogenisis events in the same system which means life is EVERYWHEREOr lastly life did not originate in the system
>>16781672I put it there btw. It's just some bacteria I scraped off a BLACK BVLL'S BBC.
>>16781681>and no there isn't.willing to bet there is, we certainly brought it there with the various machines we already sent.
Bro this shit's ancient news they found bigfoot on mars in 2007.https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA10214
>>16781765jfc
oh they think they found iron bacteria, I have some that grows near me
>>16782990>The aerobic iron-oxidizing bacterial metabolism is thought to have made a remarkable contribution to the formation of the largest iron deposit (banded iron formation (BIF)) due to the advent of oxygen in the atmosphere 2.7 billion years ago (produced by cyanobacteria).
>>16781681Airtight argument. kek>>16782979Ho shit!The picture says it's "false color." Why does NASA fear we learn Bigfoot's true color?
>>16781672what's the length scale in that picture? nanometers? kilometers? who makes Figures at NASA ffs
>>16781672
>>16781672This is schizo tier. The geology in the picture is formed by high heat, how is life going to survive temperatures that melt rock? Not to even mention the lack of breathable air, nutrients, etc.
>>16781672That's not what they said. They said they have strong evidence there could have been life. Geez man.
>>16781672This is an extremely important discovery and probably part of an accelerated alien disclosure program. The lack of moral panic i think proves we are ready for more reveals. Hopefully aliens visiting earth or further Mars life reveals will give people something to look forward and work towards.The Charlie Kirk assassination really over shadowed this announcement. Not sure if thats a good or bad thing. A lot of people seem upset NASA won't just come out and admit there's life but I guess thats not the scientific method and personally I think they've known there was Life on Mars for a while now. There have been very significant discovery of weird rocks on Mars they should have investigated, Mars "Flower" or the Doughnut but the mandate at NASA seems to secretly be to mostly ignore that stuff and keep driving which used to drive me crazy but I started to just accept over the years that the government didnt think we were ready for the announcement. I think since the internet made shocking news the new normal we might finally be ready for disclosure in whatever form it takes.
>>16783216the "dots" they're pointing at are a millimeter
>>16781672>coal found on mars>target aquired
>>16783302>anon forgets about dust
>>16783520The reason these rocks are significant are because they didn't form at the high temperatures and pressures required to explain its presence without biological processes.Also, earth didn't have a breathable atmosphere when life began in the ocean.
>>16781681What drives you retards that vehemently and impulsively deny life exists anywhere but earth?
>>16781672So are those Stromatolites or am I looking at the wrong thing?
>>16784105The little specs are reaction fronts.>https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-09413-0It's the kind of thing we look for when we're studying very early life on earth, before stromatolites.Minerals that, given the greater context of where they're found, shouldn't be there.
>>16784098>we have explored N amount of space and found nothing!>but there's N^2031280391283 more to explore>but we would've seen it by now!People simply have trouble visualizing scales.
>>16784098>What drives you retards that vehemently and impulsively deny life exists anywhere but earth?Same thing that drives redditors to vehemently and impulsively deny God or whatever: zero evidence.>>16784247>People simply have trouble visualizing scales.This applies equally to you. Your scale-based arguments are inherently meaningless. "Scale too big for monke brain therefore anything is possible" is not an argument. You are in no position to judge.
What is interesting is that if basically, water is really all you need for life. Why in fuck aren't there Ayy civilizations all through the galaxy? Are they all stuck in base animal phase and not built civilization?
The simple discovery of ANY life ANYWHERE outside of Earth is a gargantuan shift in humanity's perspective, whether they care or not.
>>16784345Now Andy did you hear about this one
>DUDE WEED ASH BURNS AYY LMAOS LIFE LMAOS!!!!no life on mar, never were never will be
life is not possible outside of the observer's own planet in any given universe
>>16784469Life from Earth has already traveled to and existed outside of its own planet.
>>16784486>already>after billions of years of evolution>already
>>16781765can we even make a toothbrush big enough?
not being able to explain some stains on a rock does not make something life.
>>16784318That seems likely to me, it took billions of years until humans evolved on earth and their future isn't very promising either.
>>16784318there are
not another post? Life on Mars basically confirmed and no one cares on /sci/
>>16784894>not being able to explain some stains on a rockNo. They are able to explain the stains. Life did it. At issue is whether or not there is an alternative explanation which lines up with observations, which there is not.
What are they going to call the new domain? Actually, I guess they'd need a new name for all 8 ranks.Could we go for a gorilla gorilla gorilla? Martian martian martian martian martian martian martian martian.
>>16785184It's another case of the observers judgement is not advanced enough to make the decision. Happens a lot with humans.
>>16781765Lmao
>>16781765Some people really believe that an animal so big could exist
>>16785192Mine is. I made the decision. It is evidence of life on Mars.
>>16781753>the cometz shootingsdid that actually happen? I don't see any threads about it in this shithole
What a lazy attempt from These Nerds to get more funding so they can keep hiding behind their desks instead of doing something actually useful.Learn to solder and weld, eggheads.
>>16782540There's no life outside earth
>>16782588>Plus we don't know if Mars is entirely sterile and lifeless now. We do. Unless you created a new definition for "sterile"
>>16784127>>16784345>>16784318So then would something like this (if it turns out to be indeed life) imply that Mars went through an Archean period? Provided we can get a sample, would there be anyway to discern if these hypothetical Martian creatures are related to us or would that be impossible?
>>16785148even if confirmed, it's indirect evidence. not a smoking gun
>>16786091It's fucking confirmed, they are just being pussy about it "le extraordinary claims requires le extraordinary evidence".They waited one year to publish this because they are so nervous. It's life.
So if explaining the results is very difficult without assuming life existed there at some point, what are the chances it survived somewhere underground with more stable temperatures and radiation shielding? Would that justify a bigger effort for some kind of boring mission?
>>16786135Very low. Not enough heat or oxygen. And if life is confirmed then that's all the more reason for bleeding hearts and antinatalists to seethe and fight back against any martian mission in order to "preserve" whatever tiny, soon to die underground remnants of a biosphere is left behind
>>16786117Le cool
>>16785276Some people really believe that an animal so big couldn't exist
