Curiosity rover finds its most diverse suite yet of organic molecules on Mars, including new detections from Glen Torridon clay-
NASA’s Curiosity has identified more than 20 organic molecules from clay-bearing sandstones in Gale Crater’s Glen Torridon using its Sample Analysis at Mars suite. Three drill samples taken during the rover’s work there returned diverse organics, including some never seen before, deepening the astrobiology case while not proving life.
