If there's one chemical that causes excitement in the search for biosignatures on other worlds, it's methane.

      There are many other ways of making methane, it’s not a very complicated molecule: CH4. It gets exciting when there’s a lot of it, because it’s not the most energetically stable molecule.

      EDIT: looks like the article goes into it.
