Known non-biological sources, from meteorites to surface chemistry, fall short of accounting for organic compounds detected by NASA’s Curiosity rover, according to a new study published in the journal Astrobiology.
This can only mean that we need to expand the search of complex organic molecules elsewhere throughout the solar system. Some of the Jovian moons like Europa or Enceladus seem very promising.
