    Mars Organic Molecule Analyzer: Animations

    May 24th, 2018
    (updated May 3rd, 2023)

    MOMA uses ultraviolet laser pulses to release and ionize organic compounds captured within crushed Martian surface and near-surface materials. Because each laser pulse lasts less than two billionths of a second, this process effectively ionizes more heat-resistant materials than those accessed by traditional oven-heating (pyrolysis) methods. Pulsed laser processing preserves weak molecular bonds, and enables the identification of organic compounds even in the presence of highly reactive perchlorates commonly found in Martian surface materials. || MOMAposterFull.jpg (1920x1080) [130.9 KB] || MOMAposterFull_print.jpg (1024x576) [73.3 KB] || MOMAposterFull_searchweb.png (320x180) [36.8 KB] || MOMAposterFull_web.png (320x180) [36.8 KB] || MOMAposterFull_thm.png (80x40) [3.7 KB] || MOMA-LDMS.mov (1920x1080) [2.1 GB] || frames/1920x1080_16x9_60p/ldms/ (1920x1080) [256.0 KB] || MOMA-LDMS_h264.mp4 (1920x1080) [91.5 MB] || MOMA-LDMS_1080p60.mp4 (1920x1080) [24.4 MB] || MOMA-LDMS_1080p60.webm (1920x1080) [8.3 MB] ||

    Methane Plume on Mars

    Jan. 15th, 2009
    (updated May 3rd, 2023)

    The first definitive detection of methane in the atmosphere of Mars indicates the planet is alive in the sense that it still has geologic activity powered by heat from its interior, according to a team of NASA and university scientists. The team used spectrometer instruments attached to several telescopes to detect plumes of methane that were emitted from specific sites during the warmer seasons - spring and summer. Though nothing conclusive can yet be determined, it is possible that the detected methane was either produced by geologic processes such as the oxidation of iron (serpentinization) or by microscopic Martian life below the planet's surface. The methane released today could be produced currently, or it could be ancient methane trapped in ice 'cages' called clathrates or as gas below a sub-surface ice layer. ||
