Curiosity rover finds tantalizing hints that Mars could once have been habitable
Curiosity has previously discovered small organic molecules on Mars, but these recently found compounds are larger and would have require chemistry to reach a more advanced state to be produced. The finding is also good news for potential life hunters, as it shows that the indicators of life could still be around even after billions of years.
Curiosity finds largest-ever organic molecules on Mars
The Mars Curiosity rover’s onboard mini-lab has helped confirm the existence of the largest organic molecules ever found on the Red Planet. The trio of long-chain compounds preserved in Martian soil are believed to be the remnants of prebiotic components required for life to develop on Earth.

Reports from NASA’s Curiosity rover reveal evidence of ancient liquid water on Mars, challenging previous models. Images from Gale Crater show wave-like ripples, similar to Earth’s lakebeds.
This image was stitched together from a series of photos from the Viking Orbiter — one of the communications relay stations for Curiosity. Although Mars has much the same land mass as Earth ...
