Science: Life on Mars?











These are images sent back by Spirit, one of NASA's rovers, that is currently exploring the planet Mars. Spirit and its twin, Opportunity have been exploring Mars since April 2004. The objective of these rovers is to determine if water ever existed on Mars. The theory is that if water did exist, Mars would have been inhabitable for life.

They thought that they saw a person or something that has life but it was only just a rock shaped like a human.
