NASA detected early June the most complex organic matter that was found on the surface of Mars a breakthrough in the study of possible traces of life on the red planet.
The Curiosity Vehicle also found evidence of seasonal variations in methane emissions, indicating that the source of this gas – which is often a signal of biological activity – is coming from the planet and could be stored on ice caps under the surface
A little more than a month later, a study just published in the journal "Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets" that another historical mission of NASA, the Viking probes, could have made the same discovery more than 40 years ago, but their results were accidentally burned by NASA, according to ABC of Spain. " In 1976, indeed, the two Viking landing modules carried out the first field experiments to search for organic matter on the neighboring planet, and even then the scientists were well aware that the planets were constantly receiving a rain of carbon-rich micrometeorites and often more complex organic molecules, so that they were convinced that Mars should be filled with such substances.But the Vikings found nothing, leaving scientists stunned and with a nose span, "says the text.
And adds: "From that moment, Many researchers have tried to find a logical explanation to the enigma of the lost molecules but none "
According to this study, Viking, in his search for organic molecules, took samples from Martian soil to analyze them." 19659009] Is there life on Mars?
