Where NASA is Looking for Extraterrestrial Life

NASA continues its search for extraterrestrial life, focusing on detecting chemical traces that could indicate the presence of organisms on other planets. Recently, the Perseverance rover on Mars found potential signs of life, specifically reactions that could originate from either geological processes or some form of life. However, determining the origin of these traces is challenging, as abiotic processes can also create complex structures. The scientific community recognizes the complexity of distinguishing between biotic and abiotic signals, and the search continues using advanced instruments and methods.
