From small things come great hope. Glass-eating microbes discovered 300 meters below the Earths ocean floors have given scientists further evidence that life on Mars and Europa is a possibility.The newly found microbes are literally at the rock bottom of the food chain. And they survive on a bare minimum: water, heat, and nutrients they digest from volcanic glass in the ocean floor. These lithoautotrophs, as they are called, are so bare bones they could easily exist on other less hospitable worlds.
