The National Aeronautics and Research of the US Space (NASA) said that spots in the form of a leopard pattern on the breed found on Mars can be the “most obvious sign” of life on the planet in the past.
The NASA statement reports that scientists have studied the breed -collected research apparatus. Persevrance, and found spots similar to a leopard pattern, which, in their opinion, could be formed by ancient organisms.
The statement notes that color structures similar to a poppy seed and stains of a leopard, found on a rock sample, correspond to minerals, which are traditionally formed on Earth as a result of microbial Activity.
The temporary director of NASA Sean Duffy noted: “This may be the most obvious sign of life that we have ever found on Mars.”
, the main author of the study, Joel Khurovitz said that these stones are probably the most interesting from the point of view of astribiology. ” “Today we demonstrate that we have become a step closer to the answer to one of the deepest questions of mankind: are we really alone in the universe.”
a model called “Sapphire canyon” was assembled by the Persevrance Mars-Trade on Rocky Exits along the edges of the Neretvaya Valis, which was formed more than 3 billion years ago, flickered in a crater. Jerzero.
