Life on Mars? Check what NASA just found

[ad_1] After years of hard work and the best of technology deployed to find any signs of life on Mars, NASA has some good news. NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover appears to have made a major discovery that could point towards life on Mars. What the rover has found, are signs of life on the Red Planet. The rover has been exploring Mars' Jezero crater for three years now, and recent findings suggest the presence of something incredible - organic molecules, which are fundamental building blocks of life.Jezero Crater is considered an area of great interest due to its potential past habitability as it was an ancient lake basin and there is the presence of a diverse range of minerals there. Previous clues have already hinted at the planet's dynamic history. However, the latest discovery of organ...

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 ...

In a first, NASA’s Perseverance Rover snaps evidence of fast moving, ‘Wild’ river

[ad_1] NASA has been actively looking for evidence of water environments on Mars that could help scientists to seek out signs of ancient microbial life on Mars. Recently, NASA's Perseverance rover has shared an image of Mars which potentially reveal traces of a lively former river on Mars. This river appears to have been deeper and swifter than any other previously documented evidence of Martian water bodies.The Mars Perseverance rover is currently investigating the top of a fan-shaped sedimentary rock, which is 820-foot (250 meters) in height. The rock layers exhibit curved formations, indicating the influence of flowing water. Scientists aim to unravel one crucial question - "Is that water flowed in relatively shallow streams – closer to what NASA's Curiosity rover has found evidence ...

Life on Mars possible? NASA Perseverance Rover finds intriguing evidence

[ad_1] NASA has made a new development while collecting organic material samples from Mars to pave the way for future special missions. Is life on Mars even possible? It is one of the most barren and bleak planets. Humans, without protection, would be dead in seconds. But the prospect of life on Mars has always been an intriguing concept. However, it has remained a mystery and keeps the scientists busy in trying to find plausible evidence and answers to prove that life did once exist on it. That's why NASA's Perseverance rover is on the hunt for signs of ancient life on the red planet. So far, the Perseverance rover has collected several samples of organic matter from Jezero Crater. Scientists hypothesise that a river once fl...

Perseverance rover investigates geologically rich Mars terrain for signs of life

[ad_1] Perseverance rover is well into its second science campaign, collecting rock-core samples from features within an area long considered by scientists to be a top prospect for finding signs of ancient microbial life on Mars. NASA's Perseverance rover is well into its second science campaign, collecting rock-core samples from features within an area long considered by scientists to be a top prospect for finding signs of ancient microbial life on Mars.The rover has collected four samples from an ancient river delta in the Red Planet's Jezero Crater since July 7, bringing the total count of scientifically compelling rock samples to 12. "We picked the Jezero Crater for Perseverance to explore because we thought it had the be...

NASA’s Perseverance Rover found green sand on Mars

[ad_1] Nasa’s Perseverance rover has found grains of olivine on the Martian surface. NASA's Perseverance rover has been traversing and examining the Martian surface for quite some time now and a latest study based on the data it collected has left scientists astounded. The newest discovery reveals that the Red planet has some green in it too. Researchers from Purdue University have analysed data from the rover that found grains of olivine on the Martian surface. Olivine is a slightly less spectacular version of a commonly known gemstone peridot on earth. And hence, it resulted in some green areas on the Martian surface. The olivine grains are so abundant in quantity on our earth that they comprise over half of the upper ma...
