More evidence of microbal life on Mars?
« on: July 15, 2004, 05:18:57 PM »
Analysis from the Mars Express probe suggests that minute quantities of ammonia are present in the Martian atmosphere.  Because ammonia can only exist for very short periods in the Martian atmosphere, it must be being replenished somehow, either by volcanic or microbal activity.  So far no evidence of volcanic activity can be found.

Not really...  The last report was about finding traces of Methane, so this is yet more evidence I guess.
