A Turkish lake may hold evidence of life on Mars

As the NASA roving probe explores the surface of Mars, scientists looking for signs of life on the planet are using data collected from a lake in southwestern Turkey.

According to “NASA”, the minerals and rock deposits in the “Salda” Navy are largely identical to those around the “Jizero” crater where the “Delta” spacecraft landed.

It is believed that the information gathered from “Salda” may help scientists as they search for fossilized traces of microbial life that are believed to have been deposited around the “delta” and the lake that disappeared long ago.

“Salda will act as a strong counterpart with which we can learn and interrogate,” Thomas Zurbuchen, assistant director of science at NASA, told Reuters.

A team of American and Turkish planetary scientists conducted research in 2019 on the shores of the lake, known as the Turkish Maldives due to its azure waters and white beaches.
