Since period, the researchers have been in doubt about the surface of Mars full of antioxidant, these oxidants may make some like organic compounds that complex molecules on the surface of Mars to exist, and organic compounds are the elements of life. Beats By Dre Headphones (http://www.monsterbeats-drdre.com.au/) NASA Ames research center for scientists the phoenix Mars landers back to the data of the in-depth analysis and research, the latest research results show that fact may is not so.
The study of the main person in charge, NASA Ames research center scientist Richard quinn explained, "although existing in the Martian soil a small amount of antioxidant, but most of the material actually belong to the benign soil. This and we find in the earth's neutral soil are very similar."
Biologists have objects to the characteristics of the Martian soil with great interest and hope to be able to analyze its ingredients to determine whether Mars could become life footing. Dr.Dre Headphones Australia (http://www.monsterbeats-drdre.com.au/) NASA's phoenix Mars landers in this respect to scientists brought many research clues. In May 2008, late the phoenix Mars landers in landing near Mars' northern pole, and in the next five months for a large number of observation data.
Phoenix, the most famous place is it confirmed the presence of water on Mars evidence of ice. In addition, it also to the Martian soil measured, and made interesting results, including the Martian soil acidity. Quinn said, "people really don't know Martian soil acidity, many people even also believed in Martian soil is of high acid." However, in about a month ago, phoenix, found that it near the sites, soil belong to weak alkali, PH value is about 7.7. Phoenix, Beats By Dr.Dre (http://www.monsterbeats-drdre.com.au/) also found that many can be a life of chemical substances nutritional ingredients, such as magnesium, potassium and chlorine, etc. Scientists think, these findings suggest that Martian soil may than previously expected to be more suitable for microbial life.
"Phoenix" number is using its own wet chemistry lab made the above findings. Phoenix, will first Martian soil shovel into a from the earth with the past water glass, then, wet chemistry lab instrument analysis of the final solution. Since 2008, quinn and his research team began to study the phoenix lander, the return data. This time, their research focus is the Martian soil REDOX characteristics. Oxidation is a destructive process that can damage such as DNA complex molecules. Quinn said, scientists have reason to believe that Martian soil with strong oxidizing. For example, in the 1970 s, NASA's Viking Mars landers once some organic compounds and Martian soil mixed together, these organic compounds soon was apparently destroyed.
Phoenix, oneself also detect a chlorate molecules, Dr.Dre Headphones Australia (http://www.monsterbeats-drdre.com.au/) this substance in certain conditions is a strong oxidizer. But the latest research results show that need to reconsider the habitability of the soil of Mars. The scientists of the latest research results, published in the journal geophysical research letters, above. Although the latest research has not confirmed whether it exists or Mars life once existed problems, but the discovery and, more recently, other findings that scientists see the hope. Last year, NASA's Mars reconnaissance orbiter "once found below the surface of Mars once flowed evidence.
