🚀🌱 New study finds compelling evidence of diverse organic material on Mars ✨🔭 'We didn't initially expect to detect these potential organics signatures in the Jezero crater floor.'
A new study featuring data from the NASA Mars Perseverance rover has presented compelling evidence for organic material on the Martian surface, shedding light on the potential habitability of the Red Planet.
Amy Williams, an expert in organic geochemistry, has been at the forefront of the search for life's building blocks on Mars. As a participating scientist on the Perseverance mission, Williams' work centers on the quest for organic matter on the Red Planet. She aims to detect habitable environments, search for potential life materials, and uncover evidence of past life on Mars.
Organic matter can be formed from various processes, not just those related to life. Geological processes and chemical reactions can also form organic molecules, and these processes are favored for the origin of these possible Martian organics. Williams and the team of scientists will work to further examine the potential sources of these molecules.
"We didn't initially expect to detect these potential organics signatures in the Jezero crater floor," Williams said,"but their diversity and distribution in different units of the crater floor now suggest potentially different fates of carbon across these environments."

New targets suggest new indictments likely in Trump cases: new reportsWith multiple news outlets reporting on a Trump aide receiving a target letter from special counsel Jack Smith related to the Mar-a-Lago documents case, and the New York Times reporting that the Mar-a-Lago case is also looking at other Trump properties in Florida, and the countdown continues on D.A. Fani Willis and the Fulton County grand juries, the prospect of new indictments related to Trump in the short term seem very strong. Legal analyst Lisa Rubin talks with Alex Wagner about how the new reporting informs expectations of next moves from Smith.
