Martian Colony in Britain
Telegraph.co.uk ^ | 8:23AM GMT 02 Dec 2009 | Science staff

Samples of a colony of Martians have been put on display in the Natural History Museum, in London.

The microscopic aliens are on a slice of a meteorite in the museum.

Nasa scientists, who used a scanning electron microscope to take snaps, say the bumpy surface resembles a fossilised colony of microbacteria – a simple form of life.

Ultra Microbacteria Discovered: A Preview of Life on Exo Planets

A team of scientists have revived a bacteria after a hundred thousand years under three kilometers of glacier. The microorganism is one of a new type only recently revealed to science, is small enough to pass through standard sterile filters..

These super-small cells are extremely suitable for life on otherwise untenable planets, with their minuscule food requirements, extreme resilience, and adaptability to micro-niches which couldn't support even regular sized bacteria. As well as existing where others couldn't, these sublilliputian lifeforms could persist on planets where catastrophes wiped out everything else.

The new ultramicrobacterium (and that's not hyperbolistic neology, that's the actual scientific name) Herminiimonas Glaciei was recovered from underneath Greenland glaciers and took almost a year to slowly heat back to life.

Antarctica Yields Fossils of a Destroyed Dwarf Planet

The eccentricity of Saturn's orbit around the sun may be responsible for the unusually uneven distribution of methane and ethane lakes over the northern and southern polar regions of the planet's largest moon, Titan according to researchers at the California Institute of Technology. On Earth, similar "astronomical forcing" of climate drives ice-age cycles.

OK done with my science report, was bored with Tiger, Obama, Health care, and the Salahi couple...

Another find..who knew!!!
