Another “MAJOR” finding by Mars rover to be announced Tuesday.

On Tuesday, March 23 at 2pm, NASA and the Mars rover team are going to make another announcement about a major scientific finding by the rover Opportunity. No word yet on what the discovery is, but it should be big since they’re not wasting anytime putting this conference together. Check out this link for more info:

Interesting, I wonder what the announcement will be.

Anyone want to take a guess?

I'm guessing it'll be evidence of groundwater. Just a guess.

I agree

Groundwater (or Methane).

 

[Phobos]

Quick! Organize a betting pool! (kidding)

Of course, they found that Phobos is the coolest moon in the solar system. Yeah, that's it.

Ok, it's probably something about the timespan of past liquid water as determined from rock layers.

Or maybe Opportunity fell through a sinkhole into an underground cavern inhabited by a tribe of Amazons. (kidding - in case it wasn't obvious...the Amazons are on Venus)
