"Mars' Hidden Giant Volcano: Potential Signs of Life"

TL;DR Summary
Scientists have discovered a massive volcano on Mars, measuring 280 miles wide and over 29,600 feet high, which had gone unnoticed for over 50 years. Located near the planet's equator, it also features what appears to be the remains of a buried glacier ice sheet, making it a promising site for astrobiological research. The volcano's location, within the Tharsis volcanic province, suggests it could hold potential signs of alien life, and further exploration is anticipated to shed light on its geologic evolution and potential for supporting life.
