American scientists believe that Mars was once very similar to Earth, and it is possible that collisions with meteorites from Mars gave life to our planet.
Mars is the closest planet to Earth, once not only similar to Earth in atmosphere, water and temperature, but also contains other material elements that allow life to flourish without Earth. .
Today, Mars is a cold, dry desert. But going back 4 billion years, this planet once had contemporary and abundant water resources.
“From 3.4 to 4 billion years ago, life formed on Earth, and under similar environmental conditions, why couldn’t resurrection happen on Mars?”, Carol Stoker, scientist at NASA’s Ames research center in California, United States, speaking at a science conference on Mars earlier this month.
Carol’s comments received the approval of Steven Benner, a biochemist at the Molecular Evolution Foundation in Gainesville, Florida. Benner pointed to an element called molybdenum.
“It is an important form of oxidation for the development of life, but the problem is that 3 billion years ago the Earth did not have enough oxygen to form molybdenum. It is possible that collisions with meteorites from Mars have occurred. ” our planet, “said Benner, quoted by Discovery.
