Staff conducted a chemical, microscopic and isotopic analysis of the composition of the asteroid and checked that it has no volcanic or atmospheric, and biological origin in its composition is the carbon of biological origin, tells the International Business Times.
On the surface Tissint scientists found organic carbon in the form of a diamond in the cracks of the meteorite. Learn chemical characteristics of the drug, they concluded that carbon got into the meteorite before he left Mars. This allows to make a conclusion about the existence of life on the red planet, at least at the time of the conflict.
