Did Mars harbour life? One of the strongest signs yet is spotted in a peculiar rock
The intriguing chemistry of a rock collected by the Perseverance rover could trace to microbial activity — or not.
Last year NASA issued a press release on an astrobiologically interesting rock found by Perseverance. I was on leave and didn't cover it.
Today the scientists talked at #LPSC2025.
No, it's almost certainly not life on #Mars. But it is pretty darn interesting. 🧪

VARG is in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Alberta, Edmonton. We study volcanic ash (tephra) in a variety of settings for a variety of reasons. But mostly because it is awesome. Find the "PI" @tephrabird.bsky.social
Associate Professor, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Alberta. I like things that fly through the air (not shit hitting fan though), science, nature, pottery, and well, many things actually. Opinions are my own and probably questionable.
Senior Lecturer, Researcher Development Academy, Deakin University. Research Engagement and Impact is my main jam. I love a good terrazzo floor, typewriters, plaques and every dog I meet. he/him | 🏳️🌈 | 🇨🇦 in 🇦🇺
