Organic molecules have been found on Mars

Curiosity Rover on Mars has found simple organic molecules, said a representative of NASA, whose colleagues earlier promised to tell straight to Mars "amazing discovery of historic proportions." Details specialists intend to submit to Dec. 3 - at San Francisco then began meeting members of the American Geographical Union. It is precisely for organic, not organic molecules that would be really evidence for the existence of life, announced at a press conference at the University of Rome "Sapienza" Charles Elachi, director of JPL, responsible for the research mission. "Curiosity is equipped with equipment that can detect biological forms," ​​- said the scientist. He expressed doubt that the media had "great expectations" in connection with the announcement of the discovery, Italian TV reported Tgcom24.    "For now it is, of course, preliminary conclusions need to be confirmed," - Charles Elachi cited Itar-Tass. However, if the presence of organic molecules has been demonstrated in the sample, it will be an important discovery because they are precursors of life and are the basis of all living matter, he added. The new data will allow the experts to get closer to uncovering the mystery of whether there was any form of life on the Red Planet. In turn, Guy Webster, a representative of the laboratory of NASA tracking of Curiosity zayavi that reports the latest discovery will be interesting, but not momentous, said, "New York Times". He suggested that the words amazing discovery as a breakthrough treatment for mankind explore the universe simply been misunderstood and consequently this has led to much speculation in the press on this topic. Apparently misunderstanding happened because the principal investigator of the mission Curiosity John Grotcinger in discussions with journalists last week for Mars exploration has defined the current Rover mission as "historic" and the press has interpreted this in conjunction with the recent samples collected from the surface of the device the planet, says PC Mag.
