Hello Everyone, today we are going to talk about NASA hunting for fossils on Mars. Right now two rovers are on Mars one Curiosity and the other Opportunity. They are both on different side of the planet and analyze the environment and send reports and footage then send all that down to earth. Curiosity is the size of car. Millions of dollars were spent just in curiosity mission alone.
Right now the Opportunity rover rests at a location known as the Endeavor Crater. At this crater, Opportunity has analyzed minerals in the rock bedding, which have been found to be smectite clay. This particular mineral can only have developed during a time when there were a large presence of water. That points out the fact that,at a time there were a large amounts of water on Mars.

Curiosity has helped scientists to spot out a location on Mars known as Yellowknife Bay which has high mineral counts and a high chance of supported life. Curiosity is now on her way to Mount Sharp as NASA prepares the next rover to launch in 2020. We still can not say that whether life exist on Mars. But we will know whether life exist in the nearest future.
Well everyone this is the end . I hope you liked it.
