Article Synopsis
- Scientists want to find out if there is life on other planets, and they look for special molecules called organic molecules that are found in all living things on Earth.
- NASA's Perseverance rover and the future ExoMars rover are using special tools to detect these molecules on Mars, but they aren't as powerful as the machines we have here on Earth.
- A meteorite that fell to Earth called Lafayette was studied, and scientists discovered it has many organic molecules, including a type of toxin, which could mean it came from a place with plants and even a possible student collector from Purdue University.
Exhumation of the southern Tibetan plateau margin reflects interplay between surface and lithospheric dynamics within the Himalaya-Tibet orogen. We report thermochronometric data from a 1.2-km elevation transect within granitoids of the eastern Lhasa terrane, southern Tibet, which indicate rapid exhumation exceeding 1 km/Ma from 17-16 to 12-11 Ma followed by very slow exhumation to the present.
