Curiosity rover finds tantalizing hints that Mars could once have been habitable
Curiosity has previously discovered small organic molecules on Mars, but these recently found compounds are larger and would have require chemistry to reach a more advanced state to be produced. The finding is also good news for potential life hunters, as it shows that the indicators of life could still be around even after billions of years.
NASA's rover Curiosity finds biggest known organic molecules on Mars
The NASA rover "Curiosity" discovered what scientists say is the largest ever seen organic molecules on Mars, raising speculation about if life was created billions of years ago on the Red Planet.
‘Wear and Tear’: NASA’s Curiosity Rover Wheels Show Remarkable Resilience After 11 Years on Mars
After over 11 years of exploring the harsh Martian landscape, NASA’s Curiosity Rover is showing visible signs of wear and tear, especially on its wheels.
Curiosity Mars rover discovers largest organic molecules ever seen on Red Planet
While the presence of these molecules is not proof of ancient life on Mars, scientists say it shows we could detect chemical signatures of past life, if it ever existed.
Curiosity finds largest-ever organic molecules on Mars
The Mars Curiosity rover’s onboard mini-lab has helped confirm the existence of the largest organic molecules ever found on the Red Planet. The trio of long-chain compounds preserved in Martian soil are believed to be the remnants of prebiotic components required for life to develop on Earth.
Organic molecules of unprecedented size discovered on Mars
The longest organic molecules identified to date on Mars have recently been detected. These long carbon chains, containing up to 12 consecutive carbon atoms, could exhibit features similar to the fatty acids produced on Earth by biological activity.
