More evidence of life on Mars

Scientists have found new evidence of life on the red planet. Such evidence suggests that on Mars, organic chemistry has been taking place all the time.

A group of researchers from the Carnegie Academy of Science, Washington DC analyzed the amount of carbon in the 10 Earth meteorites that were 4 billion years old.

After the analysis, scientists believe that in most of those meteorites, carbon content is reduced by the impact of volcanic activities on Mars. The process of carbon reduction is the carbon process that chemically binds itself to hydrogen. This proves that ever, on Mars, organic chemistry has always taken place.

This also provides an accurate argument that carbon depletion in meteorites is not due to the influence of the Earth when it falls, but itself takes place on Mars for a long time.

Dr. Andrew Steele told BBC News: 'Without carbon, the building materials of life do not exist . and the process of reducing carbon combined with hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen creates organic molecules for life. living'.

This first solved the question: 'Where has the process of carbon degradation occurred and now it still exists?'. To answer that question, it took scientists over 40 years of research.

The next task will be delivered directly to the science lab on Mars (Curiosity rover). These labs will be landed on Mars in the near future to conduct research and clarify the big question about life on Mars.
