   Chemosynthesis and Planetary Habitability
   Chemosynthesis plays a crucial role in astrobiology. The existence of chemosynthetic ecosystems on Earth proves that life does not require sunlight, making subsurface oceans of icy moons (e.g., Europa/), Enceladus/)) and subterranean reservoirs on Mars viable targets for extant life. The metabolic capacity for utilizing redu…

2. Mars

   Linked via "iron compounds"

   Hydrological History
   Evidence strongly suggests that liquid water once flowed extensively across the Martian surface. Features such as outflow channels, valley networks, and deltaic deposits indicate a far wetter past, possibly billions of years ago, when the atmosphere was sufficiently dense and warm to sustain stable surface water. While liquid water is unstable on the present-day surface due to low pressure (the [triple point…
