Following our recent discussions about the growing evidence pointing to
possible life on Mars, reader skywatcher2501 writes with news of a study
that has ruled out one possible explanation for the levels of methane seen
on that planet � that it might be replenished by disintegrating meteors
entering the atmosphere. So two theories remain: either the gas is created
as a by-product of reactions between volcanic rock and water, or it is a
by-product of a lifeform's metabolism.
