Researching the surface of Mars can help scientists decipher the origin of life on Earth.

Researching the surface of Mars can help scientists decipher the origin of life on Earth.

Life on Earth is about to be deciphered by water on Mars

The US Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced on September 28 that saline water flows on the surface of Mars based on evidence of a hillside eroded by saltwater flows through the hot season, with disappearance. and reappear them at different times of the year.

Information and knowledge of mineralogy on Mars is considered a major breakthrough in space science research. These results may prove that the environment on this planet was very humid and favorable for the life of bacteria , opening up the opportunity to search for clues about the process of life on Earth, according to Newsweek. .

Human knowledge of the origin of life on Earth is very limited, because the geological activity on our planet is always strong through tectonic plates. Ancient rock and soils that may have evidence of the formation of bacteria on Earth have been deformed and chemically affected by the tectonic processes.

Experts believe that the opportunity to discover life on Earth could begin with the results of Mars research. Evidence of water on ancient Mars indicates that billions of years ago, Earth and the red planet have many similarities. However on Mars, the tectonic plate stopped working very early and the rocks from this period remained the same to this day.

Examining them in detail may reveal proof of life on Mars. But whether life has ever formed on this planet or not, chemical traces on Mars rock will also open up clues to the first organic chemistry on Earth.

Scientists know that Mars has experienced a very favorable period of life development, but it has turned into a cold planet, arid soil from about three billion years ago, turning water into a permafrost. Nine With NASA's new discovery, we know that on Mars surface there are wet areas that contain salt water, and most likely they have survived the Mars freezing period.

Studies of ancient environments and specimens collected from Mars may help us answer the question of whether life really existed on this planet. If simple microorganisms ever appeared, they probably still exist in submerged saltwater to this day.
