A sugar molecule that's linked to the origin of life has been detected in a region of our galaxy where habitable planets could exist. The sweet find is good news in the search for alien life, the researchers say.

Many organic molecules have long been known to exist in interstellar space. Ammonia and many other precursors to amino acids.

A lawyer in the United States has written the National Geographic Society, asking it to publish in National Geographic his discovery that a photograph taken and beamed back to Earth by NASA's Mars Rover Spirit contains evidence of life on Mars. In his letter, Andrew D. Basiago, 47, wrote that his analysis of the NASA photograph of the Red Planet captioned PIA10214 has revealed images of human and animal life forms, as well as statues and other structures built by advanced, intelligent beings. "This image is the most significant photograph ever taken by human beings from Earth," Basiago wrote.

LOL


Funny that the guy writing the letter isn't asking for NASA to publish the photos that show the same rock formations from other angles clearly showing that "bigfoot" is just the other side of a rock. ;)
