What new discoveries have scientists made about Mars in recent years?

In recent years, scientists have found clues about the possible existence of life on Mars.

A stone from Mars traveled in space for about 700,000 years, turned into a meteor over the earth and fell in the African desert. A research team composed of Chinese and foreign scientists recently discovered more than 10 carbon particles with composition similar to coal and less than one tenth of hair from a thumb-sized gray-black Martian meteorite weighing about 6 grams.

These scientists originally wanted to look for traces of water from meteorites, but they accidentally found carbon particles only a few microns in size. Because biological action on the earth will increase the number of light carbon isotopes in organic matter, scientists can judge whether it is related to life from carbon isotopes.

In the past, scientists have also announced the discovery of organic matter or "signs of life" from Martian meteorites, but many of them have been questioned. Team Lin's research results need to be further tested.

If extraterrestrial life is discovered, it will be one of the most important discoveries in the history of science. Mars is considered to be the most likely planet to give birth to life besides the earth.
