Reply to comment by PlayfulParamedic2626 in NASA discovery reveals there may have been life on Mars by Genevieves_bitch

That's not believed to be good evidence of past life on Mars because the objects are tiny, much smaller than any known terrestrial bacteria. Researchers were also able to produce similar shapes using non-biological methods.

It's still possible these are some kind of life much smaller than earth life, but it's thought unlikely.

Just tempting expectations, as ALH 84001 is often overhyped as solid evidence of past life on Mars.
