NASA’s Perseverance rover has detected its strongest organic-carbon signal yet in Jezero Crater, adding a major clue to whether ancient Mars had conditions suitable for life. The material came from mudstones formed in a landscape once shaped by water.

The discovery does not show that Martian organisms existed. It confirms that complex carbon-rich material survived in a potentially habitable environment while leaving biological and non-biological origins open.
