Another day, another step closer to finding out whether life once existed on Mars. A new study suggests Mars rocks collected by NASA's Perseverance rover show signs of water — and where there was once water, there may have once been life.
The rock samples were collected from Mars' Jezero Crater in 2022, specifically in a "fan-like region" filled with sedimentary rocks on its western slope. This region appears to have once been the point where a river deposited sediments into a now-dry lakebed.
