NASA’s rover Perseverance announced that it has found organic molecules that could be a sign that there may be life on the surface of Mars.
NASA’s rover Perseverance has found various organic molecules in a crater on Mars, according to a new report. Composed of carbon and hydrogen organic moleculesmay suggest that there may have been life on Mars before.
Perseverance reconnaissance vehicle These organic molecules he found suggest that there is also a complex geochemical cycle on the planet, rather than a sign of life.
Organic compounds are molecules composed of carbon and usually contain elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur.
NASA’s reconnaissance vehicle, He found the remains of organic compounds in Mars’ Jezero Crater. According to many sources, it was claimed that there was water on Mars. But it’s not water that’s been found, it’s an organic compound. Of course, these compounds do not conclusively confirm that there is life on Mars.
But these organic molecules, a geochemical cycle makes you think it might. Because organic compounds also develop non-biologically. Therefore, it would not be right to regard this development as a definite sign of life.
Molecules are not always formed by a biological process.
Although there are different hypotheses about the formation process of these molecules, the researchers have not yet been able to determine what type of these organic molecules are. Finding carbon a sign of life on Mars Although it is thoughtful, the possibility of its formation in a non-biological process is also evaluated.
Before in Gale Crater An organic molecule was found in a discovery made. But that didn’t confirm that there was water on Mars.
