There’s big news coming out of the Sample Analysis at Mars instrument suite (SAM) on NASA’s Curiosity rover. For the first time, organic matter has definitively been detected on Mars.

MSL participating scientist, Danny Glavin, explains these findings and what they tell us about our search for life on the Red Planet.
