Maybe Perseverance-rover found signs of ancient life on Mars.




NASA says that maybe its Perseverance rover found signs of primitive life on Mars. There are lots of maybe's, and the fact is that nobody knows what that rover found. So, the rover found structures that seemed like ancient primitive bacteria. There are lots of theories that maybe a long time ago, planet Mars hosted primitive life. But the question is why remnants of those bacteria are not all around the red planet. 

The fact is that Perseverance didn't find active bacteria, but in two stones were structures that seemed like remnants of ancient bacteria. The thing is that this kind of thing is always interesting. And if those remnants are only those stones. That makes things even more interesting. That means that those remnants are from somewhere else. And could some very primitive bacteria travel from, for example, Earth to Mars? 

If those structures that Perseverance found are unique. That makes them interesting, even if they would not be ancient bacteria. Why at this point only is this type of mineral structure? What makes that mineral so unique? That is one of the most interesting questions on Mars research, even if there are no bacteria remnants in that stone.  









The active lifeforms on planet Mars would be a sensation, even if those bacteria were some procaryotes. That thing proves that bacteria can form also on other planets. But if those structures are local, and they exist only in one place, that tells that they can come from somewhere else than from Mars. And one possibility could be Earth. 

The ancient meteorites could throw water from oceans to the trajectory that takes those droplets to Mars. And that thing can explain why there are no bacteria remnants all over the planet. Another thing is that the planet Mars lost its shell at least twice. The comic bombardment in the young solar system could destroy all bacteria. Those meteorites could bring those bacteria remnants with them to Mars. 

Or, maybe they came to Red Planet with some space probe that was not sterilized. The fact is that if there are no similar structures in other places on Mars, that makes Percevenrance's discovery very interesting, even if those formations are not bacteria.

The hydrogen-burning supernovas are interesting models.

"Researchers discovered a significant magnesium anomaly in a meteorite’s dust particle, challenging current astrophysical models and suggesting new insights into hydrogen-burning supernovas. (Artist’s concept.)Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Rare Dust Particle From Ancient Extraterrestrial Meteorite Challenges Astrophysical Models) If the star is too heavy when its fusion reaction starts, it can detonate just at that moment, when its fusion starts. If the collapsing nebula is heavy enough, it can form a black hole straight from the nebula. But if the nebula's gravity is too heavy to  form  the blue giant or too  small  it can collapse  straight  into a black hole . If  the forming star is a little bit larger than the blue supergiants. It can explode immediately when the fusion starts.    The theory of hydrogen-burning supernovas consists  model  of the giant stars that explode immediately after their fusion starts. When the...

The ancient galaxy mirrors the Milky Way.

"This image shows the galaxy REBELS-25 as seen by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), overlaid on an infrared image of other stars and galaxies. The infrared image was taken by ESO’s Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). In a recent study, researchers found evidence that REBELS-25 is a strongly rotating disc galaxy existing only 700 million years after the Big Bang. This makes it the most distant and earliest known Milky Way-like galaxy found to date. Credit: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/L. Rowland et al./ESO/J. Dunlop et al. Ack.: CASU, CALET" (ScitechDaily, Astronomers Baffled by Ancient Galaxy That Mirrors Modern Milky Way) Researchers found the youngest Milky Way-type galaxy. The distance to the galaxy is enormous. And the light that comes from that galaxy named REBELS-25 comes from the Universe that is only 700 million years old. The distance to that galaxy is enormous about 236 billion light years. And that means it's a very dista...

Transcendence, or the ability to transcendent thinking may grow in teen's brains.

   "New research has discovered that transcendent thinking, which involves analyzing the broader implications of situations, can foster brain growth in adolescents. This form of thinking enhances brain network coordination, impacting developmental milestones and future life satisfaction. The study emphasizes the need for education that encourages deep, reflective thought, underscoring the critical role of adolescents in their own brain development". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) "Scientists at  USC Rossier School of Education’s Center for Affective Neuroscience, Development, Learning and Education (CANDLE) have discovered that adolescents who grapple with the bigger meaning of social situations experience greater brain growth, which predicts stronger identity development and life satisfaction years later".
