Join us as we follow NASA's Perseverance rover on its challenging ascent of Jezero Crater, where it uncovers remarkable evidence of past microbial life. This episode highlights the rover's latest findings, including a unique leopard-spotted rock, and explores the broader implications of its mission for humanity's understanding of life beyond Earth. We also discuss a groundbreaking study suggesting that Mars may have remained habitable longer than previously thought, reshaping our quest for extraterrestrial life.
