For years —- we’ve made it evident to our readers that we are avid watchers of space and what may be out there among us or above us. 2020 has brought us a host of discoveries that have led researchers and scientists to all but declare that we likely are not alone in this world — and even perhaps the universe.
A new Space.com report paints a picture of a recent Mars discovery that appears to have mounting evidence for a find that could lead to other serious finds in outer space. For starters, researchers appear to have found subglacial lakes underneath Mars’ moon’s surface.
This find comes just weeks after it was declared that there is a plausible chance that there is some form of life right now about 35km outside of Venus in the atmosphere above the elusive planet. 2020 has shaped up to be the year that mankind appears to be dangerously close to finding out if we truly are alone or if there are other people or species out there.

A subsequent paper also published (see here) reveals that researchers and astronomers know for a fact that there is water a plenty on the planet but it is mostly frozen over (at least until you get underneath the moon’s surface.) The waterbeds underneath the moon’s surface are believed to be quite similar to that of Lake Vostok (we have similar waterbeds right here on earth guys.)
Lake Vostok is a weird funny sounding lake deep beneath Antarctica. The lake has been sealed off obviously by ice and such for millions of years making it virtually inaccessible to us humans above ground. However, researchers per the same paper and Space.com believe that alike Mars’ moon the lake may be a hotbed for life forms.
