Massive lava tubes on Mars and the moon could be home to life, researchers find
Lava tubes under the surface of both the moon and Mars are large enough to be the homes of planetary bases as humanity further explores the cosmos, a newly published study suggests. The research notes the tubes are likely between 100 and 1,000 times the size of those on Earth and can shield humans from cosmic radiation.

Scientists say the moon might help explain origins of life on Earth
Since the moon has long been considered an area extremely inhospitable for life, scientists at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado have recommended that NASA should remove some restrictions designed to protect the moon from organic contamination, with the exception of the lunar south pole, where evidence of water ice still suggests its potential for explaining how life may have started on Earth.

Research suggests toxic gas might be key for identifying alien life
A recently concluded study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has discovered that the toxic gas phosphine might be the key to finding alien life on other planets. Phosphine is highly toxic to life, but the research has proved that the only known way to produce phosphine in a natural environment would necessarily involve anerobic organisms, which can help scientists positively identify earth-like planets supporting alien life.

One place on earth with no life
One place on earth with no life
According to a recently published research paper in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution.There is one place on earth where life can’t exist. Scientists conducted multiple tests and discovered that Dallol in Ethiopia is one place where life can’t exist even in microorganisms. Dallol is hot, salty and acidic even in winters, daytime temperatures can exceed 45 degrees Celsius. Some acidic and saline pools have negative pH values.
