NASA to Announce Mars Mystery Solved

NASA will detail a major science finding from the agency’s ongoing exploration of Mars during a news briefing at 11:30 a.m. EDT on Monday, Sept. 28 at the James Webb Auditorium at NASA Headquarters in Washington. The event will be broadcast live on NASA Television and the agency's website.

Thanks for the heads-up. We've got so much hardware around Mars now it's hard to guess what they're talking about.

John, your welcome :)

They probably found water, and some alien life form. Just a guess.

I'm cautiously optimistic it will be something intriguing.

Naw, they found the green cheese. And an alien subspace relay station.

Or maybe Curiosity finally found some cats...

Nick Park brushed aside the geological evidence, and showed that the moon, indeed, is full of cheese. At least, that's why Wallace and Gromit built a rocket to go there.

So they finally found Mark Watney. How is he doing up there?

Matt Damon is on Mars!

Yes... there are cats on Mars.

Yes... there are cats on Mars.

I've heard the same thing from a very reliable source.

LOL....I get all my news directly from the kitties' mouths.
They tell me all I need to know.

Thank you for the heads up Lynn, I hope they found life on the red planet.

I guess people trying to watch has crowded out the bandwidth. I've lost my connection. :~(

Received this email. WOW!

Scientists announce that new findings from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter provide the strongest evidence yet that liquid water flows intermittently on Mars.

---

It's official: clear signs of liquid water on the surface of Mars have been found. This water is believed to contain salts which lower its freezing point and keep it liquid.
Whether or not life could flourish in such brine is apparently a matter or scientific contention. Link below to article on this, which also contains interesting background information on the exploration of Mars.

NASA Confirms Evidence That Liquid Water Flows on Today’s Mars

New findings from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) provide the strongest evidence yet that liquid water flows intermittently on present-day Mars.

Using an imaging spectrometer on MRO, researchers detected signatures of hydrated minerals on slopes where mysterious streaks are seen on the Red Planet. These darkish streaks appear to ebb and flow over time. They darken and appear to flow down steep slopes during warm seasons, and then fade in cooler seasons. They appear in several locations on Mars when temperatures are above minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 23 Celsius), and disappear at colder times.

Thanks for your link, Michael.

Liquid water means probability of life, so exciting!
