Signs of life on Mars?What is the truth?The answer may emerge quickly

The phenomenon of "alien snoring" may have been found on Mars on Mars.

The Curiosity Martian detector launched by the United States Aerospace Aviation Agency (NASA) was taken on June 15, 2018. It was also a selfie of the 2082 Mars day that performed the task. It was located in the Galm Cadrokens of Mars during the shooting.

A scientific research group may have determined which position of the mysterious methane gas on Mars. Methane is a gas that is usually produced in microorganisms. Perhaps now, the curiosity detector is walking on the top of these microorganisms.

Curiosity Martian detector has been detected six times since the Garl meteor pit landing in Gar meteor pit in 2012, but scientists have not found the source of these gases. Researchers may now find the sources of these methane in a new analysis.

In order to find the source of the methane position on Mars, researchers at the California Science and Technology Research Institute set up related models by decomposing methane particles into discrete data packets. Considering the wind direction and wind speed during the test, the research team tracks their methane samples through time tracement, so as to find possible emissions points for methane gas. When the research team conducted such operations on the peak detection system of the detection system, they had roughly drawn a triangular area of ​​the most likely sources of methane-one of them was only a dozen. The distance between miles.

Researchers wrote in the report that they have clearly clarified at the bottom of the meteorite pit in the northwest of the methane eruption point located in the west and southwestern southwest of the Curiosity detector. Scientists give the landing point for the curiosity. This may be a coincidence.

The discovery of methane is quite exciting for scientists. You must know that almost all methane is formed on the earth. So the currently found methane on Mars, which may be an important guidance for life on this desolate planet.

If the methane on Mars is formed in a non -biological factor, the reason for it may be that some geological activities that are closely related to liquid water may be related to the existence of liquid water. Whether it is past or present, liquid water is important. factor.

The curiosity detector detects the methane instrument is called the adjustable laser spectrometer. This instrument can detect a trace of salt with only one -billion -volume gas in the air, and a bunch of salt sprinkled in the Olympic scale swimming pool. The maximum value of the methane at the guidance team found the maximum methane releasing source was about 10 %.

Scientists have tried to use the European Space Agency's trace gas detector (TGO) to compare the peak of methane detected by the curiosity monitoring system with the methane level in the Mars atmosphere, but it has not succeeded. This may mean that TGO failed to collect methane in Mars at the atmosphere for some reason, or there is no methane in the atmosphere of Mars, but the curious number detector just stopped at a methane release point.

"This may mean that the methane on Mars is released from the position of the Mars watch."

"The release source of methane is covered by dust. It is difficult to be found by the sea," John Moores, a professor of planet science at the University of York, Toronto, Canada, said in an article published by the New Scientist.

Now we are still not sure whether the methane on Mars is generated by microorganisms, but we know that the detection life of methane is only 330 years. After that, it will be destroyed by the sunlight and cannot be detected. This also means that no matter what the methane substance is produced on Mars, methane may continue to produce. In the next step, scientists will work hard to find these substances.

Researchers announced their research results on the pre -issued server of the Research Square platform on June 3, and their research reports need to conduct peer review.

Mars is the fourth -closure planet from the sun, and is also the second small planet after Mercury in the solar system. It is one of the four planets in the solar system. Western is called Mars in the West, and is the God of War in Roman mythology, so in English, Mars is the meaning of the Roman God of War, which is usually called "red planet"; in ancient Chinese, it was like fire, and the position and brightness were often. The change makes people elusive and calls it confused.

The Curiosity is a Mars detector under the NASA Mars Science Laboratory. The main task is to explore Mars's Gale impact pits and plan for NASA's Mars Science Laboratory. Curiosity was at 10:02 November 26, 2011 at 10:02 at the Kanavir Kok Air Force Base to enter the Mars Science Laboratory Aerospace, and successfully coordinated the World on August 6, 2012 at 05:17 at Yiyi Iraq.
