With exciting new evidence of organic imprints, astrobiologists are hopeful that these could prove the existence of life on Mars billions of years ago. With NASA’s Perseverance rover, astrobiologists were able to analyse a rock called Chayana Falls, finding that it contains unusual materials associated with a biological origin – these life-giving minerals include carbon and could be the excretion left over from ancient organisms.
I am writing this article while experiencing quite a disruptive and quite rude uninvited headache that seemed to come out of nowhere.
