Scientists have developed a new machine learning tool that could help look for signs of life on Mars and other extraterrestrial bodies

Scientists mapped the lifeforms present in the Salar de Pajonales, a salt basin located in Chile

Its environment is considered similar to that of Mars

The researchers trained a machine learning model to recognize distribution of life across harsh regions

The system could locate and detect biosignatures upto 87.5% of the time.

The team collected about 8,000 images and over 1,000 samples within the region's salt domes, rocks, and alabaster crystals.
