Actually NASA’s His statement does not mean that alien life has been definitively discovered. It means that a rock sample has been discovered with properties that may be the result of ancient microbial activity, the agency announced Thursday.

It has three crucial features

Cheyava Falls The so-called rock has three crucial features. Of these features Firstthe presence of white veins in the rock as a result of calcium sulphate. These veins are evidence that water once flowed through this rock. second The rock tested positive for organic compounds, which come from carbon-based building blocks as we know them. Third small particles on the rock associated with chemical reactions. “leopard spots” is available. This indicates microbial life.

However, both organic material and leopard spots of non-biological processes could be caused by That’s why scientists need to bring the sample back to Earth to study it more closely. Because the Perseverance vehicle has learned everything it can using the hardware on it.
