đ Big news from Mars!
Ancient Mars may have hosted long-lasting groundwater and complex organic chemistryâbringing scientists closer to answering whether life ever existed on the Red Planet.
NASAâs 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 isnât proof of life, it dramatically strengthens the case that ancient Mars may have supported habitable environments for long periods.
