Classic NASA explainer on why biomarkers require careful context
Readers often skip directly from a chemical name to 'life'; this explainer slows that down.
Key points

False positives are part of the core logic, not an afterthought.
The page is still a useful conceptual anchor.

Read and watch the sources directly.
