The low background level of methane detected by Curiosity can be explained by the sun's rays degrading organic material possibly deposited by meteors, said the Nasa scientists.

Metors carry organic material? From where?

And it stays alive at extreme hot temperatures (above boiling point of water) and lows near or at absolute 0?

I did a paper in college on interstellar chemistry.

Organic material had been detected in 1982 (when I wrote the paper)

Organic in this sense means carbon-containing. It does not necessarily mean from life.
