  3. @tangledwing An amazing creature! 🌊 🌋 🐌
    Big-❤️ (physically), turns toxic chemicals into energy, & builds its own plated armour out of metal:

    A wondrous being, threatened by deep-sea mining 😡

  6. Life Finds a Way, Even on Inactive Hydrothermal Vents biographic.com/life-finds-a-wa

    Inactive #hydrothermal vent microbial communities are important contributors to deep ocean primary productivity: Amanda Achberger et al. nature.com/articles/s41564-024

    "Because of their similar primary productivity levels, it turns out that both hot and cold vents play an important role in sustaining the #DeepSea environment."

  9. #Enceladus’ subsurface ocean 🌊 has #hydrothermal vents on its seafloor. Enceladus’ ocean contains molecular hydrogen — which #NASA has called “candy for microbes” 🦠 — as well as other building blocks for life, Iike carbon dioxide and methane. It’s pretty similar to the conditions that allowed ocean life to propagate on early Earth. planetary.org/articles/where-a

  11. Earlier we saw a map of hydrothermal sites around Tharsis suggested by James Dohm. The combination of warmth and water seemed promising in the search for life (or past life). Here are more of them, suggested in 2 studies in 2005 and 2007. These are not tied to a specific mission but could guide site selection. The 'crater sites' combined impact-generated heat with signs of water and included Gale and Gusev craters (crater sites A and B).

    Now... back to human missions.

  13. Life on Mars has always been a draw, so where should we look? 25 years ago a popular idea was hydrothermal sites. As the name suggests, they combine heat and water, so obvious candidates would be volcanic areas with evidence of water. James Dohm (then at U. Arizona) mapped two sets of them, shown on this map. 1998 sites were in Thaumasia where many channels indicate water. Sites in 2000 were more widely distributed around Tharsis. None of these have been visited yet.

  15. Life recovered rapidly at site of dino-killing asteroid. A hydrothermal system may have helped

    "the crater it left behind in the #GulfOfMexico was a literal hotbed for life, enriching the overlying #ocean for at least 700,000 years... a #hydrothermal system created by the #asteroid impact may have helped marine life flourish at the impact site by generating and circulating nutrients in the crater environment."
