NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover has detected the largest organic (carbon-containing) molecules ever found on the red planet. The ...

Curiosity found large organic molecules in a 2013 Mars rock sample. These fragments suggest Mars had the right chemistry for early life.

But Curiosity wasn't the only one with a geological mystery. At the same time, roughly 2,300 miles away on the other side of ...

The Curiosity rover detected the largest organic molecules to date on Mars, which may be fragments of fatty acids, or some of the chemical building blocks of life.

While the presence of these molecules is not proof of ancient life on Mars, scientists say it shows we could detect chemical signatures of past life, if it ever existed. Scientists have announced ...

The rock has hundreds of spherules on it, some of which have tiny pinholes. NASA's Perseverance rover has encountered another rock on Mars that has left scientists puzzled. Named "St. Pauls Bay ...

While Curiosity mission scientists have previously identified small, simple organic molecules on the red planet, the ...

Scientists have announced the discovery of the largest organic molecules ever found on Mars. These molecules could have come from the breakdown of fatty acids that existed 3.7 billion years ago ...

The NASA rover "Curiosity" discovered what scientists say is the largest ever seen organic molecules on Mars, raising ...
