The oldest living spider, named Number 16 by researchers, was a 43-year-old female Gaius villosus armored trapdoor spider, at the North Bungulla Reserve, Tammin, Western Australia. [ 132 ] Debby , the polar bear, an inhabitant of the Assiniboine Park Zoo in Winnipeg, Canada , was the oldest polar bear and third-oldest bear species on record ...
ALH84001 is thought to be one of the oldest Martian meteorites, proposed to have crystallized from molten rock 4.091 billion years ago. [5] Chemical analysis suggests that it originated on Mars [6] [7] when there was liquid water on the planet's surface. [8] [9]
Mars is named after the Roman god of war (Greek Ares), but was also associated with the demi-god Heracles (Roman Hercules) by ancient Greek astronomers, as detailed by Aristotle.

Evidence of possibly the oldest forms of life on Earth has been found in hydrothermal vent precipitates. [1]The earliest known life forms on Earth may be as old as 4.1 billion years (or Ga) according to biologically fractionated graphite inside a single zircon grain in the Jack Hills range of Australia.

The Oldest Living Organism Is Over 2 Billion Years Old. Scientists have identified the oldest living species on Earth is a deep sea organism that hasn't evolved in more than two billion years. And ...
Mars-1 was the first spacecraft launched to Mars in 1962, [266] but communication was lost while en route to Mars. With Mars-2 and Mars-3 in 1971–1972, information was obtained on the nature of the surface rocks and altitude profiles of the surface density of the soil, its thermal conductivity, and thermal anomalies detected on the surface of ...
The lower boundary of the Pre-Noachian period on Mars is characterized by the emergence of significant geological activity and the initial shaping of the planet's surface during its early history. This boundary is defined by the presence of ancient cratered terrains, volcanic constructs, and impact ejecta deposits dating back to the earliest ...
