NASA study reveals where alien life could be hiding on Mars .

The Red Planet's ancient ice packs may have long acted as a shield for microbial life, blocking out deadly cosmic radiation.

But the key to their survival would be ice that likely formed from dusty snowfall, where sunlight absorbed by that darker dust would allow pockets of melt water to develop safely under its icy surface.

Dr Khuller and his colleagues have helped narrow down where alien life is most likely to be on the vast 55.74 million square-miles of Martian surface.

'I am working with a team of scientists to develop improved simulations of if, where, and when dusty ice could be melting on Mars today ,' he told DailyMail.com.
