Scientists urge caution about mystery Mars rock found by NASA rover

The Hindu  

NASA has announced the first detection of possible biosignatures in a rock on the surface of Mars. The rock contains the first martian organic matter to be decisively detected by the Perseverance rover, as well as curious discoloured spots that could indicate the past activity of microorganisms. These look like the “reduction spots”, also called “leopard spots”, commonly seen in …

From Darwin to Mars: Why life's origins are disputed

Hindustan Times  

Understanding how life began is one of the most profound areas of science. Charles Darwin, the British naturalist, thought that life began in "some little warm pond" filled with inorganic chemicals that became complex organic chemicals or molecules. Holler's aim in a study published in the journal PNASwas to understand the stage just before life began, when inorganic chemical structures …

Fresh evidence of organic molecules found on Mars by NASA’s rover

The Hindu  

Evidence is mounting about what may be a wealth of organic molecules - a potential indicator of life - on Mars, with new findings from NASA's Perseverance rover suggesting the presence of a diversity of them in rocks at a locale where a lake existed long ago. The latest evidence comes from an instrument called SHERLOC mounted on the six-wheeled …

James Webb Space Telescope Finds Strange Organic Molecules In Galaxies Near Supermassive Black Holes

ABP News  

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope leaves the world stunned not only with its mesmerising pictures of the cosmos, but also by unravelling mysteries of the universe. The JWST, also called Webb, detected organic molecules in active galaxies swirling around supermassive black holes. In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers at Oxford University investigated tiny dust molecules in the nuclear region of active …
