NASA ability to find proof of life over As Mars through find rover explorer Find this rover speckled stone with chemical properties which could be the rest of life ancient microbes.

These findings include organic matter, evidence of water movement, and spots from chemical reactions that could support microbes.

David Flannery, an astrobiologist from the Queensland University of Technology, reported by CNN Indonesia, that these spots were reminiscent of microbial fossils on Earth. The discovery comes from the Mas area, which used to be warmer and wetter, suggesting possible signs of ancient life.

Quoting from Live Science on Friday (2/8), a member of the Perseverance team of scientists who handled the rover, David Flannery he said, “The spots were a big surprise.”

Researchers say that this situation means that signs of ancient life will appear as fossils in the rocks there. Scans by the Stability instrument, the Scanning of Environments with Raman and Luminescence for Organics and Chemicals (SHERLOC), showed the presence of carbon-based molecules in the rocks.

In addition, the results of the study also found red hematite bands showing iron and phosphate spots.

Perseverance is an exploratory mission NASA to MARS which has been performing missions since 2020.

Since you came in Marsthe rover has been looking for signs of ancient life on the surface Mars by walking across the 50 kilometer wide Jezero crater and collecting dozens of rock samples to bring back to Earth.
