Good morning all,
A couple of new items for you:
1) Scientists from Imperial College London have identified two "life precursor" molecules in the Murchison meteorite, meaning they are of extraterrestrial origin. The Murchison meteorite, of course, is a famous carbonaceous chondrite that fell in Victoria in 1969.
2) And the Phoenix Mars lander has had success with getting soil particle samples into its Optical Microscope device, to give scientists an up-close look at the martian soil.
