Perseverance rover unearths a variety of organic molecules in Mars' Jezero Crater

Ancient microbes, you there?

Scientists surmise that a river originally flowed through the Jezero Crater billions of years ago. And scientific studies indicate that there is a possibility of discovering signs of past habitability in this ancient lake basin.The Scanning Habitable Environments with Raman and Luminescence for Organics and Chemicals instrument onboard Perseverance examined the samples. This instrument's expertise lies in the detection of organic chemicals on the Martian surface.

The results "point to the possibility that building blocks of life could have been present for a long time on the surface of Mars, in more than one place," lead author Sunanda Sharma, a planetary scientist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, toldAn abundance of organic molecules
