MICROSCOPES revolutionised the study of life on Earth. Now a rugged, easy-to-use instrument is aiming to be equally influential in the search for alien life in locations such as the oceans beneath the icy surface of Jupiter's moon Europa.

If extraterrestrial life exists in the solar system, there is a good chance that it will be discovered as frozen remains trapped in a block of ice. Mars's ice caps are one possible location.

If this is true, that Saturn's moon has water vapor, it would add to the growing list of potential planets with moons that have water or might have water on them. Very interesting and promising.

New research in Antarctica has revealed cells that might repair their DNA at extremely cold temperatures and, in doing so, could effectively be 'immortal'. If confirmed, the findings would have implications for the potential for life in the ice of worlds like Mars and Europa.

After a successful deep-water test, an autonomous robot is gearing up to go where no machine - or human, for that matter - has gone before. It's all part of an experiment that could set the stage for seeking life on Europa, an ice-covered moon of Jupiter.
