In innovative revelation, scientists said they had found the strongest evidence that life might have been on Mars, following the discovery of unique rock samples on the red planet.
The rock, which was collected by NASA perseverance in Jezero Crater, contained a combination of organic molecules and chemical patterns which according to researchers were consistent with the remnants of ancient microbial activity.
According to scientists, rock compositions really show that Mars had had the conditions needed to support life.

“This is the most interesting case we have ever seen so far,” said Dr. Jennifer Stern, an astrobiology at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. “Even though it is not proof of direct life, the chemical fingerprints that we have detected right as we expect if microbes have developed in the past mars.”
Jezero Crater, which is believed to be a dry river delta, has long been the main target for exploration because of its potential to preserve the footsteps of ancient organisms. Rover instruments detect carbonate and clay minerals in stones – the key signs that water plays a role in shaping the environment billions of years ago.
Samples from Mars are currently in -Cache on Mars, waiting for the future mission that will bring them back to earth for detailed laboratory analysis.
