An international team of scientists working on examining Martian rock samples collected and analyzed by the Perseverance rover reported in Science Advances Wednesday that they’d found signs of macromolecular carbon (MMC) in the Martian rock dubbed Cheyava Falls. Like most of the other life-affirming samples collected from Mars, this one comes from Jezero Crater, where Perseverance has spent the entirety of its five-year mission.
