Curiosity rover finds largest organic compounds on Mars
Last week, NASA’s Curiosity rover discovered the largest collection of organic compounds (molecules often linked to life) on Mars. This was found near the bed of an ancient Martian lake (Yellowknife Bay) , which was previously believed to have had ideal conditions for life, further increasing the possibility of ancient life on the planet.
