Scientists Detect Potential Biosignature on Mars
Introduction In July 2024, the Perseverance rover made an exciting discovery while exploring the ancient river valley of Jezero Crater on Mars. The rover drilled into the surface, extracting a sample from a uniquely striped rock known as Chevaya Falls. The significance of this sample lies in its potential to contain biosignatures—traces indicating past or…
