Default Methane found on Mars

Sky News Story

Interesting story. Leading some people to believe if there is methane there must have been life on Mars.

The existence of methane in the martian atmosphere has been reported and disputed for a number of years.

Although it can't exist for very long in Mars' atmosphere due the way it breaks down when exposed to UV radiation there are several candidate geological processes which could be responsible for repleneshing the supply.
Or it could indeed be biological processes. It which case life must be on Mars.

Wondered what this was about. Apparently a paper had it on the front but I didn't see which one and I've just not had time to go in any shops today.

It was on the front of the sun. They seem to go mad for any alien related stories. Suprised they havent put 2+2 together to equate Martian methane destroys wind turbine.
