Glossary:

 "It could be a previous life test, but it could also belong to a meteorite or other sources," said Paul Mahaffy, director of NASA's Solar System Exploration division. 

  Summary:

 NASA has announced that its Curiosity explorer robot, a mission from Mars made in 2012, found organic molecules in rocks of the red planet formed 3 billion years ago, which could indicate that there was life there.  The origin of these molecules can not yet be confirmed. It could be a previous life test, but it could also belong to a meteorite or other sources. Although the reason for the creation of these molecules is still unclear, NASA has pointed out that this type of particle could have been the source of food for a hypothetical microbial life on Mars. In this way, the data collected by Curiosity reveal that billions of years ago, a lake of water within the Gale crater contained all the necessary ingredients for life. 

 Personal opinion: 

 In my opinion this information is very interesting and very visual since it could solve doubts created from our beginning, which is knowing if we are really alone in this world or not in a completely certain way.
