| Discovery of Organic Molecules on Mars Could Mean Life Exists on Other Planets
The age-old mystery, "Are we alone in the galaxy?" is now closer than ever before to being solved. The answer is: Probably not. In the last few days, Fox News reported a "massive" discovery regarding Mars: The Curiosity rover put there by NASA found organic molecules on the 'red planet.' "We found organic molecules in rocks from an ancient lake bed," said Jen Eigenbrode, research scientist at Goddard Flight Center in Goddard, Md., at a press conference simultaneously held at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. A variety of molecules were identified, she noted further. According to the space agency, the rocks are billions of years old. And, while scientists painstakingly attempted to explain that "life" had not been found on Mars, organic molecules could not have existed in a vacuum. Organic suggests 'life form.' What's more, scientists explained that the molecules they discovered could provide additional clues as to what they belong to. "Organic compounds are
