Nitrates are a class of molecules that contain nitrogen in a form that can be used by living organisms. The discovery adds to the evidence that ancient Mars was habitable for life.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/EnvironmentalNewsNetwork\/~4\/_C-Jt23ot7o\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-172653","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Was there ever life on Mars?
