On May 14, 2021, China became the second country to ever deploy a rover on the Martian surface. Named Zhurong after the ancient Chinese god of fire, the rover landed on Mars’ Utopia Planitia ...
Scientists discovered signs of an ocean's worth of liquid water miles below Mars' surface. The findings, based on Marsquake measurements by NASA's InSight lander, could help solve a mystery.
The animal was so unique that they had no idea what it was until they did genetic testing. It turned out to be a new species of sea slug that's perfectly adapted to the deep ocean.
Environments in which subsurface life has been found [1]. The deep biosphere is the part of the biosphere that resides below the first few meters of the ocean's surface. It extends 10 kilometers below the continental surface and 21 kilometers below the sea surface, at temperatures that may reach beyond 120 °C (248 °F) [2] which is comparable to the maximum temperature where a metabolically ...
There may be much more water further below the surface; the instruments aboard the Mars Odyssey are only able to study the top meter or so of soil. If all holes in the soil were filled by water, this would correspond to a global layer of water 0.5 to 1.5 km deep. [41] The Phoenix lander confirmed the initial findings of the Mars Odyssey. [42]
Also, scientists have discovered that the deeper these creatures live, the more gelatinous their flesh and more minimal their skeletal structure. These creatures have also eliminated all excess cavities that would collapse under the pressure, such as swim bladders. [11] Pressure is the greatest environmental factor acting on deep-sea organisms ...
The team also discovered millimeter-size crystals of olivine within the same rock. Olivine, previously detected in another part of the crater by Perseverance, is a mineral that forms from magma.
Pteropods are found in all major oceans, usually 0–10 metres (0–33 ft) below the ocean surface and in all levels of latitude. Pteropods can be found lower than 10 meters, but in less amounts in terms of biomass, however, pteropod distribution is more spread out deeper based on findings.
