Scientists have revealed that natural molecules discovered on Mars are "in keeping with adolescence", a tantalising clue within the hunt for alien life in our Photo voltaic System.

Nasa believes historic Mars was much like Earth and was as soon as a lot "wetter and hotter".

“If you have a look at the numbers, it’s possible that we’re not alone within the universe,” Cruddas advised the Day by day Star on Sunday.

“We all know Mars has been hotter and wetter, so has the circumstances for microbial life, which is single cell organisms. We simply haven’t been in a position to show it but.

“Whether or not it's microbial life or one thing past rationalization is but to be seen.

However as soon as now we have a solution, we will then extrapolate that to work out how a lot life would possibly really be on the market.”

However the 38-year-old scientist stated we also needs to be ready for a go to from aliens.

“We shouldn’t rule out that alien life will uncover us first. It could have already found us.

“Alien civilisations is perhaps way more superior than us, which is why it’s possible they may discover us earlier than we discover them.”

The US area company’s Perseverance rover lastly touched down on the Crimson Planet after an unbelievable seven-month journey.

The US area company's Dr. Becky McCauley Rench explains why she thinks Mars was as soon as a lot "wetter and hotter".

The rover, nicknamed Percy, is drilling into the planet's floor to gather core samples and retailer them in titanium tubes.

These tubes will then be put aside till 2028, when a retrieval craft is scheduled to take them again to Earth.
