NASA said that the matter is ionizing radiation from space, which destroys relatively quickly
Amino acids can create living things and non-biological chemical processes, but if you find certain amino acids on Mars, they willproof of the existence of life on the planet.
Bacteria use certain amino acids tocreate proteins. The latter are necessary for the formation of life: they are needed for the production of enzymes that speed up and regulate chemical reactions, and also help create different structures.
"Our results show that cosmic raysdestroy amino acids in the surface rocks and regolith of Mars much faster than previously thought, ”said Alexander Pavlov, an associate at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt.
“Today’s missions sink into the ground for aboutby 5 cm. At this depth, cosmic rays will destroy amino acids for 20 million years. A period of 20 million years is relatively short. Scientists are looking for evidence of ancient life that was on Mars billions of years ago, when Mars was more like Earth, so we need to dig deeper,” he said.
