The Mysterious Case of Mars’ Vanishing Methane...

Of all the science going on, on Mars, perhaps the most important is the search for microorganisms, either past or present. Finding life that evolved independently on another planet would rewrite history books and teach us a lot about the universe. And recently, a weird discovery has left scientists scratching their heads for an explanation. This is the case of Mars’ vanishing methane.

I read on one of your earlier videos a comment by someone complaining that you talk to fast. I thought they were being dramatic. But now I hear it. You talk super duper fast. I understand you clearly though so it’s not like I don’t know what you’re saying. You speak extremely fast, but clear. Slowing it down makes you sound hilarious. Doesn’t sound right. Haha 😂

Mrs top 5 narrates with the same cadence as her Mr. 🤣🤣

Wasn't it discovered that methane appears to have cycles, implying that seasonal changes possibly created by organic life could be the cause. When mapping methane, it appears to change in concentration around the Marian surface, implying seasonal changes due to underground organic life?

I had to slow this video down, she read to fast for me 😂

I want you to know, the first time you said methane is a gas, I farted.
