Life at the limit
It's possible there are alien organisms somewhere in the Solar System - after all, you find life on Earth in the strangest places!
Who'd have thought life would be found in the cooling rods of nuclear reactors, in hot springs as acidic as battery fluid, and in deep ocean vents under high pressure at temperatures above 130°C? And recently mini microbes were found
3 kilometres beneath the icy surface of a glacier - how cool is that?
