Mars has survived, we should have known it 40 years ago

The new study shows that we should have known about life on Mars since 1976.

With great advances in science, humans have officially confirmed that liquid water can exist on Mars, leading to the hope of nurturing life here.

However, according to a new important study published, it turns out that 40 years ago, two Viking Labeled Release probes found evidence of bacteria existing on the Red planet.

Specifically, according to a new study published in Astrobiology, experts from the University of Arizona stated that these evidence "coincide with biological explanations" , suggesting that the microorganisms on the stars Fire has existed, evolved to suit the harsh environment here.

The team "dug up" the data brought back by two Viking ships since 1976 - the data are said to be "abiotic". Accordingly, the two ships performed experiments by taking soil samples on Mars, injecting nutrients, drying and storing in the dark for 2 months.

As a result, the soil samples on Mars turned out to be almost the same as those on Earth on microbial reactions. That is, on Mars there may be life in the form of microorganisms that exist on it.

However, scientists then spent years searching for the explanation for the result, in which the most compelling reason was "an abiotic abundance available in the soil" .

However, the truth is that no oxidants are suitable in it, and when the task of bringing people to Mars is approaching, finding the solution to this phenomenon needs to be found.

And according to researchers and experiments from Viking ships are the only experiments to determine life, because only these two ships are heat-treated to minimize the amount of bacteria on the Earth. according to the.

Chris McKay, cosmic biologist at Nasa's Ames Research Center, said: "Whether you believe it or not, this study shows that data from 1976 needs to be considered specifically. We can't dismiss the biologic hypothesis, because it affects humanity's journey to the future Mars. "
