NASA Rover Uncovers Signs of Possible Ancient Life on Mars NASA’s Perseverance rover has uncovered a rock sample on Mars that may hold signs of ancient microbial life. The discovery was made in Jezero Crater, where the rover has been exploring since 2021. Scientists believe the rock, which dates back 3.2 to 3.8 billion years, may contain a “potential biosignature”. The rock, found in an area once covered by water, contains minerals typically linked to biological processes on Earth. These include vivianite and greigite, both formed through reactions involving organic material. Although the findings are promising, researchers say nonbiological explanations…
