Study Links Microbial Colonization to Ancient Meteorite Crater: What You Need to Know
- Sunday September 21, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A Swedish team has precisely dated microbial life in Finland’s Lappajärvi crater. Isotopic traces show bacteria colonized the hydrothermal system just a few million years after the meteorite impact, thriving for millions of years. The finding suggests impact craters on Earth and Mars may provide lasting habitats for life.

NASA’s Perseverance Rover Finds Potential Signs of Life in Mars Rock Sample
- Thursday September 11, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s Perseverance rover has uncovered iron-rich minerals in Jezero Crater rocks that on Earth often link to microbial activity. The discovery suggests Mars’ lake basin may have been more hospitable than thought. Still, scientists caution that only Earth-based analysis can confirm whether these are true biosignatures.

Earth’s Oldest Impact Crater Turns Out to Be Much Younger, Scientists Reveal in New Study
- Wednesday August 6, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
The Miralga impact crater in Western Australia, once thought to be Earth’s oldest at 3.5 billion years, has now been redated to after 2.7 billion years ago. With a revised diameter of just 16 kilometers, the structure no longer supports theories of early crust or life formation, but remains scientifically valuable for studying Mars-like planetary...

NASA's Perseverance Grinds Into ‘Weird’ Martian Rock to Uncover Signs of Ancient Habitability
- Thursday July 3, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s Perseverance rover is grinding into a strange Martian rock called Kenmore to study its inner makeup and potential for preserving signs of ancient life. The rock yielded clay and feldspar and, for the first time, manganese hydroxide, all key indicators of water-related processes and possible habitability on early Mars.
