Mars is one of Earth's closest neighbors, a mere 140m miles away, so it makes sense to ask if there was - or possibly still is - life on the Red Planet. There’s no evidence yet, but NASA’s Perseverance rover is searching for signs that microbial life (fossilized, microscopic life) may have inhabited Mars billions of years ago. If life does exist on Mars now, scientists believe it would be in the deep subsurfaces where conditions are warmer and wetter. Mars is potentially habitable several miles below its surface due to the melting of thick ice sheets fueled by geothermal heat.
