Life on Mars?

There just might be! NASA’s Perseverance Rover, launched during President Trump’s first term, may have discovered the clearest evidence yet of ancient life on Mars.

@sirpenski @NASAUniverse @NASAHubble @NASAWebb @NASARoman Actually, HWO will be targeted at the nearest stars most similar to the Sun. All within a few tens of light years. Still far away but not far by astronomical standards.

Are we alone? To find out, we’re building the Habitable Worlds Observatory. This powerful space telescope uses proven technologies from @NASAHubble, @NASAWebb, and @NASARoman to look for signatures of planets that can support life — and maybe life itself. https://t.co/rKKDP1Slys
