In a groundbreaking event, a coded message beamed to Earth from Mars by the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter has been deciphered by a father-daughter team. This ‘alien signal,’ part of an art project called ‘A Sign in Space,’ reveals images of five amino acids, raising intriguing questions about its meaning and the potential for extraterrestrial communication.
A striking ‘smiley face’ spotted on Mars by the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter is actually a remnant of an ancient lakebed, potentially harboring evidence of past life on the Red Planet. This discovery, part of a study cataloging chloride salt deposits on Mars, highlights these deposits as prime targets for astrobiological exploration due to their potential to preserve signs of past microbial life.
