NASA’s Curiosity Mars Rover Finds Large Organic Molecules
While Curiosity mission scientists have previously identified small, simple organic molecules on the red planet, the discovery of the larger molecular compounds offers the first evidence that organic chemistry on Mars evolved toward a complexity necessary to become an origin for life on the planet, the Goddard update notes.
The discovery suggests prebiotic chemistry may have advanced further on Mars than previously observed. The analysis revealed ...
