Evidence of life on Mars lurks beneath surface of meteorite, Nasa experts claim

It showed that microscopic worm-like structures found in a Martian meteorite that hit the Earth 13,000 years ago are almost certainly fossilised bacteria. The so-called bio-morphs are embedded beneath the surface layers of the rock, suggesting that they were already present when the meteorite arrived, rather than being the result of subsequent contamination by Earthly bacteria.

Umm... couple o' questions:

1. Where's the link?

2. Didn't this news come out about 6 years ago?

Link to article with the same picture.

The article that bobby quoted without crediting also wrote:

Dennis Bazylinski, an astrobiologist from the University of Nevada who peer-reviewed the findings, said: “Until now I was on the fence but this paper has really thrown out the non-biological explanation.” However, he added that the study was not a “smoking gun” for life on Mars. “One meteorite is never going to answer such a complex question,” he said.

Coincidentally, the University of Nevada basketball team is hanging with North Carolina with about 10 minutes left in the game. Watching it on NESN right now.

New analysis... alright.

I'll get a little more excited when they find something ON Mars.

i found the photo quite odd, yet interesting

It looks like a worn out, beat up cue ball that badly needs to be replaced.
