A study published in Science analyzes multiple rocks found at the bottom of Jezero Crater on Mars, where the Perseverance rover landed in 2020, revealing significant interaction between the rocks and liquid water. Those rocks also contain evidence consistent with the presence of organic compounds. The existence of organic compounds (chemical compounds with carbon-hydrogen bonds) is not ...
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, ...
Thanks to scientists, years of research, and space exploration, we continuously discover new facts about the cosmic space and planets beyond Earth. For example, in 2013, NASA’s Curiosity Rover found evidence of an ancient streambed on Mars. The following year, rock material collected from the red planet revealed organic chemistry on the planet. Fast forward ...
Since the Perseverance rover landed in Jezero Crater on Mars in February, the rover and its team of scientists back on Earth have been hard at work exploring the floor of the Jezero Crater that once held an ancient lake. Perseverance and the Mars 2020 mission are looking for signs of ancient life on Mars ...
