Astronomy / Space NASA Is About to Announce a Massively Exciting Mars Discovery

[Manticore]

As with most announcements of announcements, they've only released a few details, but we do know that the "live discussion" will talk about "new science results from NASA's Mars Curiosity rover".


So what has Curiosity found? Well, although everyone always hopes for aliens, we wouldn't recommend holding your breath for little green people.

Hell yes. Let's hope it's something really special...... o7!

Yeah I've been waiting for a few days to hear what this is.

Trappist 1 was the best announcement recently. I’m hoping for something even more profound.

They found a cousin of Tj ?

 

[Zak Gordon]

I'd love a fossil, but some special chemistry result showing some form of proof of life would also be awesome. All rationale people know it could be that kind of thing, but in a world where dogma often rules, how awesome would proof of life on another planet be
