Mars' Jezero Crater was full of organic materials

Plus: E-cigarettes and vapes tied to higher risk of tooth decay and cavities. Nov 26, 2022 [Blueprint]( Life on Mars? New findings suggest that may be. A new study on Mars' Jezero Crater, which was confirmed last year to be a massive lake once, indicates that [organic molecules featured abundantly in the waters of this lake](. The findings are intriguing for the search for ancient alien life on the red planet. Having been on Mars since February 2021, NASA's Perseverance rover has now provided compelling evidence that organic molecules were once abundant in the lake on the Jezero Crater. Anyways, before losing ourselves to the question of whether life ever existed on Mars or not, let's have a look at our [video of the day]( and find out how this modern bow makes archery easier than ever. Good morning. I'm Mert, an Editor at IE. This is The Blueprint. Let's dive in. Last Sunday, Blueprint subscribers had scientists' insights on an unlikely alliance between science and the Bible.

Now, a new study shows that [organic molecules]( featured abundantly in these waters. The findings provide compelling evidence that life may have once existed on the red planet. "It looks like Jezero Crater is indeed what we suspected based on orbital imaging. It used to be a lake about three/three and a half billion years ago. And that's really exciting for us, obviously, because liquid water on Mars three billion years ago was around the same time that life evolved on Earth. So it raises a question, did that water on Mars also contain the building blocks for life?" said Dr. Joseph Razzell Hollis from the Natural History Museum in London in an interview with IFLScience. NASA and ESA's Mars Sample Return mission is developing the technology that is required to fly samples back from Mars to Earth so that scientists can analyze them. The space agencies expect to do so at some point in the 2030s.
