Mars: NASA's Curiosity rover finds new organic matter in Gale Crater
NASA's Curiosity rover has identified seven organic compounds—five previously undiscovered on Mars—in 3.5-billion-year-old rock samples from Gale Crater, a former Martian lakebed. While some compounds resemble precursors to DNA on Earth, scientists note they could have formed through nonbiological processes; the findings support Mars' past habitability and suggest future instruments could detect preserved organic matter from life if it existed.
