Temperatures can drop to -225°F on Mars, and the air is unbreathable. But around 4 billion years ago, the planet had oceans and seas, and a thick blanket of air. These conditions could have supported life.

For the past nine and a half years, NASA’s Curiosity rover has been exploring the planet’s Gale Crater, which was probably once a lake. Today, the crater contains rocks and sediment. Curiosity has studied these for clues to whether tiny life-forms called microbes ever lived there. They could have left chemical traces on the surface. In January, NASA announced that Curiosity might have found what it was looking for.
