Research highlights the potential for photosynthetic life beneath the surface of Mars, particularly in the mid-latitudes where dusty ice could provide both protection from ultraviolet radiation and the necessary conditions for subsurface water. This study suggests prioritizing these areas in future explorations for life on Mars, emphasizing the balance between ice dust content and light […]
