Mars Stinks!
By way of Martian Soil, we find MainlyMartian: Methane (and thus life?) on Mars #
The article reports that methane has been found in not insignificant quantities in the Maritan atmosphere. Methane in the atmosphere can be produced by volcanoes and comets that break up before impact, but one very likely possibility is apparently that this methane could be a sign of life, and possibly recently- or still-existing life. Of course, this doesn’t yet constitute proof, but it is one more tantalizing clue that Mars could be to some extent habitable. #
Of course, with the mass amounts of sulfer that were recently found in the rocks, and now the methane, one would hope that whatever life there is there doesn’t have noses. #
