- 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.
