HONG KONG: Scientists are concerned that the recent methane spike detection that was picked up by NASA’s Mars Curiosity rover may actually originate from the rover itself and not from the alien world.
However, the detection and analysis of methane content found in the Martian atmosphere is not as easy as taking a sample. Scientists should be able to practice more caution when it comes to how human activity can impact and interfere with the pristine conditions of an alien world especially with rovers that could affect the readings of the Martian atmosphere and even rock samples.
The detection of methane on Mars could indicate microbial life on the alien planet as it signifies the breaking down of organic bacteria. Scientists are now constantly monitoring Mars for any methane spikes and also methane detection on other planets as well.
