NASA finds “a more clear signal” of the past on Mars – DW – 11.09.2025

NASA announced this Wednesday (10.09.2025) about the detection of possible signs of life on Mars in rock -gathered Ruver’s perseverance on the Red Planet.

“Such a conclusion of our incredible perseverance is as close as we found an ancient life on Mars,” said Nikola Fox, Deputy Administrator of NASA scientific missions during a press conference.

“This is a signal, a kind of residual signal. It is not life on its own, and it is definitely an old life. And it would be what existed millions ago, nothing there,” the doctor added.

Keeping perseverance finds rock “Temiava -dospad”

A possible biofirm is located in a rock called “Temiava -Vadas”, which was collected last year in the old dry river bed in Jezero Crater.

This NASA’s conclusion was published on Wednesday in the magazine Nature And it was expanded by the US Space Agency during a press conference, which also involved his temporary administrator Sean Daf.

During the same NASA scientists shared a number of possible detection made by Ruver, which correspond to the mineral nodules that could be prepared in preibotic or microbial chemical processes, both related to life.

CRERER Jezero: The key to the search for Martian life

NASA scientist Katie Scott Morgan said they chose the Jezero crater to land in it in 2021, “because he is in place among the oldest lands of Mars, in front of some of the most ancient breeds anywhere in the polar system.”

“Jezero was definitely the place of the old lake. We have two rivers valleys that enter the Crater Crater Crater Valley through which the letter flows through the craters,” he explained.

After a few years, rejecting the sections of the crater, the mission’s attention was focused on the rocky heads called “Bright Angel”, in which the river found a rock with unusual textures and revealed the above signals of a possible life.

“After a year of analysis, they returned and said,” Listen, we do not find another explanation, “said the Dauph at the press conference.

Problems to confirm the extraterrestrial life

For his part, Scott specified that checking whether it is a sign of life, “requires greater work and study,” so he emphasized the importance of attracting the samples to the ground for more detailed research.

This request faces some recent decisions by US President Donald Trump’s government, which plans to reduce NASA budget and leave the land from many space missions.

However, Nicola Fox concluded that today they “step closer to the answer to one of the deepest questions of humanity: Are we alone in the universe?”
