Searching For Life Without Being There

This article discusses how the european space agency has come up with a new probe that will be sent to mars to search for evidence of life on the planet. The probe has three parts one that will search orbit the planet and another lander which will take cores of the planets surface and search for the presence of amines. I thought this was really amazing because instead of just searching for the amine groups within the cores that it will take the lander will also assess the chirality of the molecules which will inform researchers a lot more about the nature of the potential organism that they have found on the planets surface. This is really awesome and exciting to see that other places besides the US are actively pursuing research on Mars.
