Did Chandrayaan Find Organic Matter On the Moon?

Matt_dk writes "Surendra Pal, associate director of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) Satellite Centre says that Chandrayaan-1 picked up signatures of organic matter on parts of the Moon's surface. 'The findings are being analyzed and scrutinized for validation by ISRO scientists and peer reviewers,' Pal said. At a press conference Tuesday at the American Geophysical Union fall conference, scientists from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter also hinted at possible organics locked away in the lunar regolith. When asked directly about the Chandrayaan-1 claim of finding life on the Moon, NASA's chief lunar scientist, Mike Wargo, certainly did not dismiss the idea."

Not on the far side, or at the poles. And frankly, even if they crashed right into an old probe or LM lower stage, the quanties would be miniscule.

Re: your sig

Religion = a belief without proof

Atheism = a belief that there is no God, afterlife, and all that

Not even caring enough to have a label is a religion to the same extent that not collecting stamps is a hobby.
