It has been a long-standing issue that indeed there is life on Mars. Mars is the next planet to Earth, with the Sun as the basis for the distance. It has been speculated that life is definitely possible on Mars, the extraterrestrials are possible to survive and even make their own living as life on Mars is possible.
According to Express, there is probably the first proof that there if life on Mars. NASA's rover based on the Red Planet could have found a proof enough to support the claim for life on Mars is confirmed.
Scientists have reviewed the images taken by the Spirit rover nearly a decade ago and have concluded that NASA may not have reviewed the images in-depth, missing out on evidence that could point to biosignatures for past early forms of life.
The image that was overlooked by NASA is an ancient eroded volcanic ash which is believed to have an active hot spring. This then developed silica outcrops which include the finger-like images captured by the rover.
Stromatolites form when microbes are accumulated in colonies in the moist environment before trapping sediments developing a sticky surface. The sediments react to calcium carbonate in water which then results to limestones.
These stromatolites at El Tatio has similarities found on Mars. These are also formed by hot springs and are believed to be those captured by the rover in one of the Martian craters. This is making the study one step closer to proving that life on Mars is possible.

Scientists also confirmed that the samples found on Mars contained microbial life. More interesting is that the samples are similar to those found in Antarctica, California and Alaska.
As added by The Telegraph, life on Mars is possible because it had running water and an atmosphere. Evolution of men began with microbes which then developed and further progressed to what the Earth has now.
The hope of discovering life on Mars was also raised back in Dec. 2014 when there was Methane as recorded by NASA's curiosity rover.
It is known that Earth has 90 percent of methane produced by organisms. It is then semi-conclusive that methane is produced by some living organisms on Mars.
