Really? Signs of life on Red Planet? Take a bow, Perseverance Rover

[ad_1] Scientists have been searching for traces of life on Mars for over a hundred years. NASA has even sent the Rover Perseverance in hot pursuit of signs of life on Mars. Now, in a sensational announcement, it has been revealed that it successfully gathered multiple samples of organic matter, further strengthening the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life on Mars.In the latest development, NASA's Perseverance Rover has observed diverse organic matter from Jezero Crater on the red planet. The study published in the journal Nature reveals that the presence and distribution of preserved organic matter on the surface of Mars can help scientists to get key information about the Martian carbon cycle and eventually the potential of the planet to host life throughout its history. The ...

Surprise! NASA’s Curiosity Mission makes awesome new discovery on Mars

[ad_1] After working over a decade on the Martian surface, NASA's Curiosity rover has finally made an unexpected discovery about the presence of water on the planet. So far, Curiosity rover has made several significant discoveries, one of which was the presence of rippled rock textures in an area of ancient Mars that was believed to be dry. The scientists believed that the "sulfate-bearing unit," where the rover arrived last fall, would not have any evidence of lakes because the rock layers there were formed in a drier environment compared to other areas explored during the mission. The sulfates in this region, which are salt minerals, were believed to have formed when water was slowly evaporating. However, the Curiosity team was taken aback when they discovered the clearest...

Surprise! NASA just found Opal gems on Mars

[ad_1] NASA's Curiosity Rover has found opal gems on Mars. NASA rovers on Mars have been looking for clues to water or any other source of life. Now, in a big surprise, NASA's Curiosity Rover, which has been exploring the surface of Mars, has found water-rich opal gems on the planet. "More than just a shimmering stone, opal — which is rich in water — has now been found in Mars' Gale Crater by NASA's Curiosity Rover," a report by space.com said. "In both older and newer Curiosity images, they (researchers) noticed fracture halos, rings of light-colored sediment, that stood out because of their color; further tests proved that the light rock was actually opal," the report further informed. Wondering why the discovery is important? Well, it may serve as an important...

Life on Mars killed off by Martians? Shocking study says so

[ad_1] A new study has revealed that the early life on Mars might have killed itself off. Know how the Martians caused their own end. For years, the word ‘Martian' has been a part of our vocabulary. The word simply means forms of life on the planet Mars. But the mainstream nature of the word, unlike Venutian (belonging to Venus) or Mercurian (belonging to Mercury) highlights how people on Earth have always believed in the possibility that life exists on Mars. And while NASA has not found any evidence of life existing at present, it has found evidence for microbial life on Mars that existed millions of years ago. And as scientists try to find out more about the life that existed on Mars, a new study has made a shocking claim. It says that the life of Mars was ended by the first organis...

Scientists find new evidence for liquid water on Mars

[ad_1] New evidence for the possible existence of liquid water beneath the south polar ice cap of Mars has been found. An international team of researchers has found new evidence for the possible existence of liquid water beneath the south polar ice cap of Mars.The results, published in the journal Nature Astronomy, provide the first independent line of evidence, using data other than radar, that there is liquid water beneath Mars' south pole. The researchers, led by the University of Cambridge with involvement from the University of Sheffield, used spacecraft laser-altimeter measurements of the shape of the upper surface of the ice cap to identify subtle patterns in its height. They then showed that these patterns match computer model predictions for how a body of water beneath the i...

NASA Perseverance Mars Rover makes a surprise discovery! Finds evidence of Water!

[ad_1] The NASA Perseverance Mars Rover has coincidentally found important evidence that can reveal when water was present on the red planet. The NASA Perseverance Mars Rover was sent on the red planet to discover signs of life, but it might just have achieved something even more important. The Mars rover recently found volcanic igneous rocks which can be the key to untangling the martian timeline. Scientists can understand when exactly Mars had water and was habitable and in turn figure out what might have caused it to be the dead planet it is today.The rover is roaming around the Jezero crater, where it first landed. And while exploring and collecting samples, the rover has come across an igneous rock. Igneous rocks are int...
