#perseverance
It isn't the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out, it's the pebble in your shoe.
-- Muhammad Ali
#Perseverance rover has found possible hints of ancient #life on #Mars― one of the strongest signs yet of Martian life, according to planetary scientists.
Dark-rimmed ‘leopard spots’ in a rock studied by the rover last year could be the remains of Martian microbial activity.
The announcement comes loaded with caveats.
Yes, the spots look a lot like those produced by microbes on Earth. But the spots might have formed without the help of living organisms.

Four years ago, our fierce #Perseverance rover landed on Mars. In the midst of an unprecedented pandemic, we were all reminded - even if temporarily - of what can be accomplished when we all work together. Here’s to many more years of exploration and discovery on the Red Planet. Merci!

BREAKING:
Scientists announce that the processes which created the "poppy seeds" and "leopard spots" features #Perseverance encountered at Bright Angel were most likely biological metabolisms.
That's as close to announcing ancient life found on Mars as it has ever been

#Perseverance has now gone back to South Arm, where it had been 48 Sols ago, apparently to examine the rocks there more closely.
