For hundreds of years man has gazed at the stars and wondered whether life might exist on other parts of our solar system. Over the past few decades, however, a series of spectacular space missions and remarkable discoveries at home have suggested to many scientists that Earth may not be the only place in our solar system to harbour life.
Deep in the Mexican jungle there is a cave called the Cueva de Villa Luz. It is full of hydrogen sulphide, a gas that smells like rotten eggs and, in high concentrations, is lethal to humans. Inside the cave strange life-forms have been discovered called Snotties - so named because they resemble drops from a cold nose! They do not need sunlight to survive. Instead they eat the sulphur and warm, volcanically heated water and produce battery acid as a waste product. They are members of a class of life-forms called extremophiles.
