New discovery: NASA found organic salt on Mars, will help in the discovery of micro-organisms in future missions
NASA has found organic salt on Mars, the study of which microorganisms can be found on other planets besides Mars.
The American Space Agency NASA has been engaged in the search for life on Mars for the past several years. In the same sequence, after examining samples brought from Red Planet to Earth, NASA said that there may be organic salts (organic salts) on the surface of Mars. After this discovery of NASA, our understanding of the surface of Mars will be further developed. Also, it will also help in searching for micro-organisms on other planets. NASA said in a statement, 'Like ancient pottery, these salts are chemical residues of organic compounds, such as those previously detected by Curiosity Rover.'
Organic salt can be formed when exposed to radiation and oxidation.
Research published in a research journal states that iron, calcium, magnesium oxalate, and acetate, affected by radiation and oxidation, can dissolve together in organic salts on the surface of Mars. These salts may be formed through geologic processes or may be microorganisms. NASA said the discovery could be helpful for future Mars missions.
Life expectancy in another environment
NASA said that this discovery also emphasizes the possibility of life in another environment. Some organisms, like Earth, may use organic salts such as oxalate and acetate for energy. Researcher James MT Lewis said, "If organic salts are more dispersed on the surface of Mars, then we can find out about their composition and distribution of biological records." In the coming time, they can contribute significantly.
Research on the ancient environment of Mars
The goal of the researchers was to find out what kind of molecules may have been on Mars and what they can tell about the ancient environment of the red planet. "We want to explore the billion-year-old organic chemistry," Louis said. Scientists were already predicting that organic compounds could break down salts.
NASA's Amazing: Hubble captures the amazing incident of a thousand times faster than the Sun and a lightning-fast blast
These extraordinary Fast Radio Burst FRBs generate many times more energy than the Sun does not produce in the entire year, in thousandths of a second.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has once again shown amazing performance. With the help of this telescope, Astronomers have detected the powerful radio blasts of five distant galaxies. Hubble has taken pictures of this blast. These extraordinary Fast Radio Burst FRBs generate many times more energy than the Sun does not produce in the entire year, in thousandths of a second.
These radio pulse disappear in the blink of an eye and researchers have to face many difficulties in studying them. It becomes very difficult for them to find out that they are made of something after all. Because of this most of the time astronomers are unable to know in which direction to look. Hubble discovers the Galaxy Spiral Arms, where stars are born.
Hubble made the job easy
To know where these blasts are happening and from which galaxies they are born, it is very important to find out from which activity so much amount of energy is released. Hubble studied 8 FRBs under the new survey, enabling researchers to generate a list of potential FRBs.
Glow in the night
According to the records of Parkes Radio Observatory, on July 24, 2001, FRB was first detected. Since then astronomers have found more than 1000 FRBs, but only 15 of these have been known to have a relationship with any galaxy. The lead author of the study, Alexandra Mannings of the University of California, said that our results are new and encouraging. This is the first time high resolution photos of FRBs have been found. Hubble has also discovered that five of these are in our nearby galaxy.
In the process of becoming stars
ALEXANDRA MANNINGS said that most of these galaxies are much larger and much newer. The process of making stars is going on here. From these pictures, we can get a better idea about the rate at which stars are being formed here and what is the position of FRB right now.
