Perseverance detects organic matter in Martian rocks

The Perseverance rover, which has been exploring the Jezero crater on Mars since 2021, has confirmed the presence of organic molecules in exposed Martian rocks. The findings were published in the journal Science Advances by a team of 62 scientists led by Ashley Murphy from the Planetary Science Institute in the United States. These results suggest that complex carbon-based compounds exist on Mars, potentially indicating past conditions suitable for life. The discovery adds to the growing body of evidence about the planet's geological and chemical history.
