In the Martian race model by the age of 3.7 billion years, complex organic compounds are discovered, which can be attributed to biological processes.
Scientists have found the largest organic compound in Mars, found on the Red Planet. The opening was reported by The Guardian with a reference to a study published in the journal Prochedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
We talk about ten, eleven and twelve-carbon alkanes, which are the main ingredients of cell membranes of living organisms.
The example in which organic molecules are discovered is called Cumberland. It was a racial fragment formed under ancient Lake Yellowknife Bay about 3.7 billion years ago. After the heat in a special analyzer riding in the inquiry of the marshound, carbon acids (fatty acid) are being secret from the sample, which can have both abiogenic and biological origin.
“This is not a whole evidence, but a prediction, and a bit intriguing. It seems like Mars is teasing us: Nate, guess, but look for the answer to yourself,” said chemist-analy’s Dr. Carolin freisine from atmospheric and space research laboratory.
An important discovery is that among the most common molecules found is a molecule containing 12 carbon atoms – as long as living organisms on Earth, where enzymes add two atoms to fatty acids at a time.
Scientists plan to review compounds located in more detail, especially their carbon and hydrogen isotopes. However, such analysis is possible only in laboratory conditions in the world.
Although this discovery has not yet provided an unclear answer to the question of life in Mars, it has been confirmed that organic formations can be protected in Martian breeds of billions -billions of years, which will open new reach for future research.
Earlier it was reported that the Mark Road had recorded a rare cosmic phenomenon: “Potato Eclipse” when the Mars Fobos satellite closed the sun for a short time.
