Mars too dry for life

Life could not exist on the surface of Mars because the planet has experienced a 600 million year "super-drought", scientists claim.



Analysis of soil from the red planet found that its surface had been dry for such a long time that any life would have to be lurking deep underground.

Researchers deduced that there had been water present during a warmer period lasting up to 5,000 years in the distant past, but this would have been too little time for life to establish itself on the surface.
