Hottest things from -- because scientists are finding the strongest evidence yet it's.

That there may be or have been life on Mars a team studying this huge crater.

Known as the McLaughlin crater claim that the rocks prove that the red planet may have supported life at some point.

Each aircraft was a professor of physics at the -- City of New York beach -- welcome back I didn't I don't invest so basically now they started to look at these craters because when the meteor hit it.

Tossed up what was underneath.

And they're finding things that we're very below that may give them more evidence try.

Exactly you know for thirty years NASA has focused on one thing looking on the surface of Mars for a life.

But life -- harsh on the surface if there is any because of ultraviolet radiation from the sun because it's below freezing so this is a game changer why not look under ground on -- Perhaps hot half of life on the art is under your feet.

With this is we couldn't.

-- the three and they said it clearly struck me half of life's finer.

Could be is not just walking around driving our cars -- it's what's going on -- -- act think of fungus spores like pins bacteria and algae that exists under your under your feet even in deserts and harsh.

Harsh regions.

But on Mars because the surface is bleached we think that media craters perhaps it ruptured the surface of Mars.

And then perhaps of this -- in carbonate material which is compatible with life was then thrown into the space.

Creating a crater so why not focus on creators.

This is a game changer now we're beginning to -- we shift our focus now to the Mars that exists under the surface.

It's gonna tell us about.

Whether or not life existed well it things similar to martians or human life Friday that a lot of -- -- -- I don't think they're gonna -- find out out of that we get -- -- blue green and go hungry -- right -- however if you take a look at what journalists say journalists say follow the money.

Scientists say follow the water.

Where you have what are you also have clay in you have carbon it's -- when you look at the McLaughlin crater bingo.

That's what they found that buying carbon -- they find evidence of clay.

Which means that this is perhaps the most likely place to find bacterial life.

Microbial life sorry about that and so little -- -- Very very tiny tiny tiny little green -- perhaps the right to thank -- again like a game changer if we find evidence of a new form of DNA on Mars.

It could change our sense of who we -- are in in this universe fascinating detail always a pleasure attack TM thank you now much.
