Pendant ce Temps là, loin d'ici, les données sur Mars nous ont appris que ... je cite:
NASA’s rovers have found evidence that Mars once had lots of organic compounds rich in the carbon-bearing minerals known as carbonates, and a meteorite with Martian origins has been found to contain carbon, as well. To figure out which isotopes of carbon and oxygen are present in those carbonates, the Curiosity team turned to the rover’s Sample Analysis at Mars instruments. The equipment heats collected samples to over 1,650 degrees Fahrenheit (899 Celsius) and then uses a laser spectrometer to analyze the gasses that are produced.
On est encore loin des « petits Hommes verts », mais qui sait, peut être que sous le sol il y reste "quelque chose" de vivant ?
