World shaking discovery by NASA; here's what the space agency has disclosed about the red planet Mars
Perseverance rover by NASA has eventually made a significant discovery on Mars while finding a rock sample nicknamed ‘Cheyava Falls’ that might provide and eminent evidence of ancient microbial life, reported Popular Mechanics.
According to Popular Mechanics, located in the Jezero Crater this certain rock actually features two vertical veins of calcium sulfate while eventually indicating significant past water presence and a central band filled with distinctive ‘leopard spots.’ These spots actually suggest chemical reactions that could have supported significant microbial life.
Using its significant SHERLOC and PIXL instruments, Perseverance rover detected organic compounds within the rock while marking the first compelling evidence of organic material which are being found alongside signs of water and potential energy sources for life, asserted Popular Mechanics.

While this discovery is promising, at the very same time, eminent scientists caution that further analysis is needed to confirm whether these features are indeed indicative of past life or not. The presence of olivine crystals also raises many questions about the formation of the rock while suggesting that volcanic activity could explain its characteristics without microbial involvement.
