The Curiosity rover detects oxygen behaving strangely on Mars

„We‘re struggling to explain this,“ said Melissa Trainer, study author and planetary scientist at NASA‘s Goddard Space Flight Center. „The fact that the oxygen behavior isn‘t perfectly repeatable every season makes us think that it‘s not an issue that has to do with atmospheric dynamics. It has to be some chemical source and sink (of elements into the soil) that we can‘t yet account for.“

It relates back to the methane mystery.
