The Perseverance rover may have just found evidence of organic compounds in the rocks of Jezero Crater. Previous studies have found evidence of organic compounds on Mars before. The Curiosity Rover and the Mars-Express the orbiter has provided proof of this, as have the data from Perseverance. None of this necessarily involves any kind of …

Crater lake. Credit: NASA A study published in Science analyzes several rocks found at the bottom of Jezero crater on Mars, where the Perseverance rover landed in 2020, revealing a significant interaction between rocks and liquid water. These rocks also contain evidence consistent with the presence of organic compounds. The existence of organic compounds (chemical …
