MARS PERSEVERANCE ROVER FINDS ‘SOMETHING NO ONE’S EVER SEEN’ IN ITS SEARCH FOR ALIEN LIFE

The Perseverancerover has taken a “look at something no one’s ever seen” scraping away at rocks on the surface of Mars.

The rover has been on the Red Planet since 25 October, examining the South Séítah region of the Jezero Crater, as part of Nasa’s search for extraterrestrial life – but took a brief pause recently during solar conjunction, where the sun blocked communication between Earth and Mars for the space agency.

As well as looking for microbial life, the rover will also bring back samples of Martian geology so scientists can develop a more accurate history of the planet’s climate.

It used its abrading tool to scrape away at the foreign rocks to investigate the minerals inside.

“Peering inside to look at something no one’s ever seen. I’ve abraded a small patch of this rock to remove the surface layer and get a look underneath. Zeroing in on my next target for #SamplingMars,” read a post from the rover’s official Twitter account.

The rover revealed a circular smorgasbord of minerals and sediment inside one of the crater’s layered rocks – which scientists can use to tell when the material was formed and what the climate was like.

It was recently revealed that the Jezero Crater was the home of an ancient river delta, with the presence of water making it more likely that there was life on Mars.

Perseverance has 43 sample tubes to bring back Martian detritus for scientists to study, and recently collected its first “perfect” rock sample (after a previous sample mysteriously went missing.) It is likely the space agency will now take a new sample from this area. If so, these rocks could be even older than the ones previously collected.

“There are potentially older rocks in the ‘South Séítah’ region ahead of us, so having this younger sample can help us reconstruct the whole timeline of Jezero,” Vivian Sun, one of the mission’s scientists at Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, said in August 2021.

JUST-IN: NASA Detects Radio Signal from Proxima Centauri

Scientists studying archival data collected by the Parkes radio telescope in Australia say they have found a radio signal that came from the direction of Proxima Centauri, the closest star to Earth. Proxima Centauri has at least one planet that may be habitable to life as we know it. There is a slim chance that the signal came from extraterrestrial beings, though other explanations are far more likely. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and no one—including the astronomers analyzing the data—are claiming they’ve found aliens. A paper analyzing the findings is not expected to be published until early 2021, so there’s a lot we don’t know. But as is often the case with exciting science results, the news leaked early: The Guardian broke the story on 18 December, the scientists involved spoke publicly to Scientific American , and experts at the SETI Institute have reacted . Finding life beyond Earth is one of The Planetary S...

Proxima Centauri mystery deepens: We are on the brink of discovering aliens

Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our own Sun, has long been a subject of fascination for scientists and the general public alike. Located just 4.2 light years away, it has been the subject of numerous studies and observations over the years. Recently, however, the mystery surrounding Proxima Centauri has deepened even further, raising the question of whether we may be on the brink of discovering aliens. One of the most intriguing recent developments has been the discovery of an Earth-sized planet orbiting Proxima Centauri. Dubbed "Proxima b," this planet is located within the "habitable zone" of the star, meaning that it is possible that liquid water could exist on its surface. This has sparked speculation that the planet could potentially be home to some form of life. However, the mystery doesn't end there. In recent years, scientists have also detected strange bursts of radio waves emanating from Proxima Centauri. These bursts, known as "fast r...
