Into this time it’s the methane that makes you the headache and not NASA scientists. Composed of carbon and hydrogen is abundant in the solar system. Even Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, is covered. It may be of natural origin, due to geological phenomena, and then it’s fine no problem, but can be created by living beings. Many famous German cows that pollute more than cars with their methane produced naturally. Mars will look more modestly that produced by bacteria which, in 2003, he thought he had found. Of different satellites orbit around Mars for years, he had found a number of “feathers” of methane in the atmosphere kept very clear of that planet on which we now reaffirm their opinion that the researchers then had explained to the scientific community .
Into Now Curiositiy for a year and spends it in Gale Crater, 150 km wide and seemingly ideal place for its geological history, to find traces of methane. Well Curiosity has found nothing, although in his body from the huge SUV Martian guard Sam, a very sophisticated set of tools with which he sniffed the air and analyzed rocks.
So what? And other measurements have to wait, but at this point will be in the same area where the rover landed in August, 2012, whether they come our, that in this case we are Europeans.
In short, the wondrous mission of NASA’s Curiosity, which many positive results has already given us, on this key issue seems to get confused and throw gasoline, since methane is not there, the fire of the debate.
