🚀 Big news from Mars!

Ancient Mars may have hosted long-lasting groundwater and complex organic chemistry—bringing scientists closer to answering whether life ever existed on the Red Planet.

NASA’s Curiosity and Perseverance rovers have discovered the largest organic molecules ever found on Mars, along with quartz and silica-rich rocks capable of preserving biosignatures.

While this isn’t proof of life, it dramatically strengthens the case that ancient Mars may have supported habitable environments for long periods.

The search for life on Mars is becoming more focused—and more testable—than ever before.
