This is an exciting possibility that was only released ten hours ago. If we confim it, then it will raise at least two more questions. One is whether this life is related to Earth life considering that the panspermatic mechanism works easily within the solar system. The second and related question is where did that life originate? On Mars? Earth? Somewhere else?

Man, but I would love to grow those microbes in the school lab!
