Scientists Have Discovered Fixed Nitrogen in a Martian Meteorite For The First Time - Science Alert

Remember ALH84001? The meteorite with the, presumably, martian fossils. According to Carly Cassella, this hunk of rock is the gift which keeps on giving after the discovery of fixed nitrogen within its matrix. Fixed nitrogen has abiotic origins, but the lion's share tends to come from biological processes. Combined with Jocelyn LeBlanc's Evidence Of A Major River That Once Flowed On Mars continues to build a case that one of our neighbors was once somebody's home. How about two of our neighbors? A new paper in the Journal of Geophysical Research makes the case Venus wasn't always a Detroit-esque hellhole, in addition to answering Kate Wheeling's question How Long Was Venus Habitable? For quite some time if the math works out, and if M.J. Way and Anthony D. Del Genio's hypothesis truly holds water, it paves the way towards Believable Extraterrestrials. Caleb Scharf shares a nifty video debate concerning when puny earthlings will detect the first alien technosignatures and their verification. Until then, hopefully the Europa Clipper's mission will verify or falsify Monica Grady's proposition of Octopus-Like Creatures Inhabiting Jupiter's Moon. Best of all, Paul Ratner elaborates upon a few of her points for her maverick hypothesis. (CS)
