  • More than 3.7 billion years ago, Mars supported life with methanogenic microbes metabolizing hydrogen underground.

  • These microbes released methane which interacted with the atmosphere and polar ice caps, causing progressive cooling.

  • The microbial methane emissions led to near-complete ice coverage of Mars within half a million years.

  • Certain areas like Jezero Crater might have sustained microbial life below the surface for some time.
  • Perhaps it is a common fate of life in the universe to destroy itself.
    — Lead author Boris Sauterey, in an interview with Inverse, discussing the idea that life in the universe may share a fate of self-destruction.
