      Six years ago, many researchers thought methane detected on Mars might just be a mirage of mistaken data. Now new discoveries show it’s real, it seems to spike with seasons, & it’s a likely sign of life. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/22/science/nasa-mars-rover-life.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share … via ⁦⁦@kchangnyt⁩

      This result is exciting, and I would retweet...except that I feel about claims of life on Mars or anywhere but Earth the same as I do about news of a "cure" for cancer: I'm waiting for overwhelming, not suggestive evidence. (Doesn't stop my pulse from speeding, just a bit.)

      At this point, it's fascinatingly intriguing, not overwhelming. But still a really perplexing mystery even if the methane turns out not to be result of life.

      Absolutely. No criticism of your story at all, which caught the moment in the research elegantly. Just -- I so want to live to see confirmation of exobiology (and cures for cancer) that I require of myself much skepticism.

      I'm with Tom ... Great scoop, and that big of a belch definitely deserves intense follow-up. But based on the 2013 belch, it seems as if tectonic release of trapped subsurface geo methane is at least as likely as bio activity.https://www.geekwire.com/2019/methane-mars-express/ …

      But the way I read the story, if old gas is being released through cracks, it’s at least a sign of life that once existed on Mars. Plus, the seasonal variation....

      Could be. Or it could be old gas from geothermal reactions.
