No Methane, Bad News

Curiosity continues to trek across the surface of the Red Planet. During his journey the rover has take a number of samples of Martian air, searching for a variety of indicators. One of the most important, or at least, of the most interest, is the amount of methane found in the atmosphere. This is important because methane is an indicator of life.
