Methane Discovered in the Atmosphere of Mars

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Methane has been confirmed in the atmosphere of Mars. This discovery was made using large ground-based telescopes, which detected specific colors absorbed by methane. The presence of this gas is a puzzle, as methane breaks down quickly in the Martian atmosphere. This suggests there's an ongoing source, but scientists aren't yet sure what it is.
