NASA Curiosity Rover Mars Discovery
The discovery was made after years of laboratory work analyzing samples drilled from Gale Crater in 2020.
While the presence of these molecules does not confirm the existence of past alien life, it provides compelling evidence that Mars once had the necessary conditions to support it.
The experiment involved a complex chemical process that has never been performed on another world.
NASA officials stated that this finding brings the agency 'one step closer' to understanding the biological history of the solar system.
