Mars rover of the American aerospace agency NASA Curiosity measured a burst of methane in the atmosphere of Mars and found organic molecules in rock samples extracted during rock drilling reported on agencies. Theoretically, these data confirm that on Krasnaya life existed in the present or past planet, they write online media. Scientists note that gas can be like biological and non-biological in nature, however on Earth, 95% of methane comes from microorganisms. To prove animal methane origin, additional research. Detected molecules may not be evidence that there are or were microorganisms on Mars. However they say that on the planet there were favorable for the emergence of life conditions. Recall that last week, scientists discovered evidence of the existence of lakes on Mars. To such a conclusion researchers came after analysis received through the rover Curiosity data from the red planet. According to scientists, images Mount Sharp, which is about five kilometers high, show that its formation took place inside a huge crater Gale from sedimentary rocks. This allowed them to suggest that this the crater was once filled with water. After this discovery scientists faced another question – could there exist are the simplest forms of life in this water? It is noted that the formation water, according to scientists, was supposed to go from one to several tens of millions of years.
