Two samples from Mars together deliver the "smoking gun" in a new study showing the origin of Martian organic material. The study presents solid evidence for a prediction made over a decade ago by University of Copenhagen researchers that could be key to understanding how organic molecules, the foundation of life, were first formed here on Earth.
This is very cool. If we actually find life on another planet in our own system that would strongly imply that life is common in the universe. To find definitive proof that life here is not unique would one of the biggest discoveries I think of.
