NASA’s Curiosity Rover Found The Largest Organic Molecules On Mars To Date—Decane, Undecane, And Dodecane—In Cumberland Rock. These Fatty Acids May Hint At Ancient Life Or Natural Processes. Found In Gale Crater, Once Lake-Filled, The Discovery Boosts Hopes Of Finding More Complex Signs Of Life And Supports Returning Samples To Earth For Deeper Study.

US Scientists Say They’ve Found A New Color—“Olo,” A Vivid Blue-Green—By Firing Laser Pulses Into 1 Eye Of 5 People, All With Normal Color Vision, Stimulating Only M Cone Cells (Green) Out Of The Eye’s 3 Types: S (Blue), M (Green), And L (Red). This Rare Activation Created A Color Unseen In Nature, Possibly Aiding Color Blindness Research.

Prototaxites, Earth’s First Dry-Land Giants From 443-359 Myrs Ago, Stood 26 ft Tall. Once Thought To Be Fungi, Research Now Shows They’re Unrelated To Any Known Life, With Tube Structures, Lignin Traits, And Heterotrophic Behavior. Found In Scotland‘s Rhynie Chert (1843), They Hint At An Extinct Eukaryote Lineage, Perhaps A New Kingdom.
