  • Some Las Vegans have been looking to the sky for hints of alien life for decades, but UNLV geoscience professor Libby Hausrath has gotten closer than any of them to finding sound proof. This isn't any conspiracy theory or pseudoscience: Using samples collected from NASA's Mars 2020 Perseverance rover,

The article from MSN discusses a study led by UNLV Professor Amy Williams, who is part of NASA's Perseverance rover mission. The study focuses on analyzing the first soil samples collected from Mars, specifically from the Jezero Crater, which was once a lake and river delta. These samples are crucial as they could provide insights into the geological history of Mars and potential signs of ancient microbial life. The samples, which include igneous rock, sandstone, and mudstone, are being examined for their mineral composition and organic molecules. This research not only aims to understand Mars' past habitability but also to prepare for future human exploration by studying the Martian environment. The samples are currently being prepared for return to Earth, with the mission's findings potentially reshaping our understanding of life beyond Earth.
