Jam packed issues filled with the latest cutting-edge research, technology and theories delivered in an entertaining and visually stunning way, aiming to educate and inspire readers of all agesVital samples from a dried up lakebed on Mars could contain crucial evidence for past life on the Red Planet — but budget overruns are threatening the effort to bring those samples back to Earth, where researchers could actually tap into what secrets the specimens contain.there in Feb.
It's the fine-grained sediments that will get most of the attention, however. That's because they are the type of sediment most likely to contain evidence of past microbial life on Mars, if it ever existed."That's why these samples are so important," said Shuster. A map of Perseverance's travails around the sedimentary fan of an ancient river delta in Jezero crater. The red hexagons mark sampling sites. That's why it is so important to get them back to Earth, where the most sophisticated laboratories can dissect the samples, learn their chemistry and find out what was really happening on Mars all those years ago.
