Mud cracks on Mars hint at conditions that could have formed life long ago, according to a new study by NASA scientists. The study analyzed images of ancient lake deposits the Curiosity rover took and found evidence of desiccation cracks that indicate periodic drying and wetting cycles. Mars had a climate more hospitable to life than previously thought, and microbial life could have thrived in the shallow lakes and ponds.
