The title is misleading. It's a potential sign of (past) life, but the article is full of quotes from these scientists emphasizing again and again how it could quite possibly be from a non-living origin so we need to be cautious how we interpret it.

MODERATORS
The title is so bad it's less "misleading" and more "lie".
Did NASA announce discovery of life on Mars? No.
Title is not what the article says, and website is nearly impossible to read with popups and ads.
Link to a NASA page on the finding, because that link has a misleading title and way too many ads
