NASA could have found millions of Martian microbes.

NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander have taken many ultraviolet-light images
with its optical microscope. Many of such images show numerous small
white dots (Fig.1). These white dots could be fluorescence emitted
from Martian microbes, as they are not seen in other images taken of
the same area in other light sources. The white dots measure from
about 4.7 microns to 11 microns in diameter, as shown in Fig. 2 below:

light (marked with U) and with blue filter (marked with B).

microns.
