According to the news of the Science News website, organic molecules consisting of carbon and hydrogen, which are also found in living systems, hint that there may have been life on Mars before.
THERE MAY BE A MORE COMPLETE GEOCHEMICAL CYCLE
While the organic molecules found by NASA’s Perseverance rover are seen as the building blocks of life on Mars, it is predicted that a more complex geochemical cycle may exist on the planet.
Although there are different hypotheses regarding the formation process of the molecule, the researchers have not yet determined which type of organic molecules are.
Although the discovery of carbon reveals the possibility of life on Mars, the possibility of its formation by non-biological processes is being evaluated.
IT WAS ALSO DETECTED IN GALE CRATER
Organic molecules have also been detected in the Gale Crater on Mars before. (AA)
