During the research, scientists found a calcite crystal inside the meteorite, which contained 15 percent carbon dioxide and a very small amount of fluid.

Water is the largest source of life on Earth. Likewise, the expectation of water life on space and other planets outside the Earth. Water is also present in space. It has been claimed to get ice from Moon to Mars. Now scientists have found salt crystals within a meteorite, in which water has been found. According to the information, this meteorite was part of an asteroid, which fell on the earth. When scientists studied this meteorite, it found that the salt particles present in it came from somewhere else.
These meteorites, made of Carbonaceous condrite class, are very old. They are part of the asteroids that are formed at the beginning of the solar system. According to reports, the asteroid that this meteoroid is part of was 4.6 billion years old. Ritumiikan University Research Professor Dr. Akira Suchiyama and his team are conducting research on whether water can be found in such meteorites as calcium carbonate in solid state?
Water can be present in meteorites
During the research, scientists found calcite crystals that contained 15 percent carbon dioxide and very small amounts of liquids. The results that have emerged from this suggest that water and carbon dioxide may be present in these meteorites made of the old Carbonaceous condrite class. Scientists are considering the presence of water within the asteroids of the beginning of the solar system as a very important discovery.
It is believed that at the time of manufacture of asteroids, water and carbon dioxide would have been present in the solid state and it would have been formed at a place in the solar system where the temperature would have been very low. Such a place in the solar system may be around Jupiter. This is where this asteroid came towards the earth and its pieces hit the surface.
Perception Rover in search of life
For years, scientists have been exploring the possibilities of life in space. In this discovery, NASA’s Perverance Rover has gone to Mars, which is now preparing for its primary mission which includes the study of Jezero Crater and the discovery of signs of ancient life on Mars.
About 3.9 billion years ago, the Jezero crater was filled with a lake, which contained the waters of a river delta. Now it is hoped that dry lakes and scattered rocks can help scientists study the history of the region on Mars, which will make it easier to know if life ever existed here?
