On mars, evidence shows that there might have been an ocean in the northern hemisphere. And that ocean could very well have been habitable for life as we know it. Sun could have powered life in that ocean a but there's also one problem. Life on mars has the same tree as life earth, which would not be conclusive as far as a separate origin.
What are the oceans like on Enceladus? Neil deGrasse Tyson explores the oceans of other planets in the search for alien life with planetary scientist Kevin Hand, oceanographer Julie Huber, and comedians, Eugene Mirman, Ellie Kemper, and John Mulaney!
