NASA to search for fossils on Martian crater

NASA is exploring Mars' Jezero Crater to find signs of ancient life. Studies have identified carbonate and hydrated silica minerals, which may preserve evidence of past life. The Mars 2020 Rover will collect rock samples to understand Mars' transition from a wet planet to a dry desert. These findings could reveal insights into the planet's evolution and the potential for past microbial life.
