Press Release in Florida Today
NASA will announce another "major scientific finding" from its Mars rover Opportunity at 2 p.m. today.
Scientists previously announced the rover found the first hard evidence water once drenched its landing site.
"This is the major announcement of the two," spokesman Don Savage said Monday.
The panel, which includes NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe, the top Mars rover scientists and a U.S. Geological Survey sedimentologist, is expected to elaborate on Opportunity's previous findings during a briefing from NASA headquarters in Washington.
Although the rocks at Meridiani Planum have revealed evidence of ample water, scientists haven't said definitively whether there was a lake or sea there, when the water soaked the plain and for how long.
Today, they may have more conclusive results.
Any ideas or speculation??
