NASA's Perseverance rover has discovered some intriguing signs that ancient Mars could have supported life. This news comes from the analysis of a new sample of mudstone, a type of sedimentary rock, which is believed to have formed in the presence of water. Perseverance's main mission is to search for signs of past life in Jezero crater, which was once home to an ancient river delta. The r
