Perseverance has discovered organic molecules on the surface of Mars, which gives hope for the existence of alien biological life

NASA continues to explore the Red Planet with the help of the Perseverance rover, which is accompanied by

Recently, scientists from the Federal Space Agency published an article about the discovery of organic molecules on the surface of the fourth planet fromSun.

What is known

Perseverance is equipped with PIXL instruments andSHERLOC. With their help, it was possible to detect organic molecules on the surface of Mars and confirm the find. This gives hope that in the future, scientists will still be able to find biological life outside our planet, but the guarantee is far from 100 percent.

The problem is that the presence on Marsorganic molecules does not guarantee the existence of life there. Compounds of carbon and hydrogen can result from the reactions of substances from inorganic chemistry.

Perhaps scientists will learn more about the find,after about 10 years. To study the samples, they must be delivered to Earth. NASA has scheduled a mission to return capsules with Martian soil samples in the middle of the next decade.
