I'm excited but cautious about that discovery. Methane was detected on Venus a few years ago, but it turned out to likely not be a sign of life.

Yeah, those are just cool. Th real good stuff is the evidence for liquid oceans and the hope that there may be dimethyl sulfide, but that hasn't been confirmed yet. But it would prove life with very high certainty.
