UM-Bot Posted November 14, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 14, 2017 The lake has been described as 'a chunk of Mars [that] has somehow broken off and travelled 33 million miles'. http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/313342/lake-in-canada-hints-at-possible-life-on-mars 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pallidin Posted November 14, 2017 #3 Share Posted November 14, 2017 What accounts for its 300+ basins, I wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelion318 Posted November 15, 2017 #4 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I wonder if this is covered by my insurance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundew Posted November 15, 2017 #5 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Still, the lifeforms in the lake are extremophile earth bacteria. That does not mean life exists on Mars, but if it does, it will certainly have to be just as, if not much more extreme in its survivability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_KB_ Posted November 15, 2017 #6 Share Posted November 15, 2017 well is it previously undocumented life or just stuff you can find on earth that has migrated there, if it's something new then how advanced is it, is it like a microbe or like a small plant, just saying we found stuff somewhere is kinda a let down, they could have at least told us more about the thing they found and the argumentation on why isn't it just something from earth that lives there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom the Photon Posted November 15, 2017 #8 Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) Click bait writing at its worst. First line is totally misleading: "The lake has been described as 'a chunk of Mars [that] has somehow broken off and travelled 33 million miles'." Suggesting a Martian origin. Whereas it's actually: "it's like a chunk of Mars..." So, similar chemistry and appearance. Any life here is terrestrial in origin, and in no way implies the presence of similar life on Mars. Very poor journalism. Edited November 15, 2017 by Tom the Photon half was missed off - not the first time this has happened 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunzilla Posted November 15, 2017 #9 Share Posted November 15, 2017 ! I remember seeing this lake on a school trip to Nelson, on the bus drive there. I tried to get a picture of it when we drove past, but you couldn't see the spots. Very cool looking lake. Could never figure out what it was exactly. Now I know. As for it being like something you'd find on Mars;.... I've never seen any pools like this on Mars. Very alien looking, but not really Martian.

paperdyer Posted November 15, 2017 #10 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Could something from Mars have landed in there eons ago and the bacteria adapted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
