Tomorrow, Nasa will be holding a press conference to announce a major new development in the exploration of Mars.
Something in the data sent back from the US space agency’s hugely successful Curiosity rover is important enough to warrant a rush press conference
What the news will be, no-one yet knows. But that hasn’t stopped people speculating.
The best guess is that it’s something to do with the presence of running water on the Red Planet. The conference panel will include Alfred McEwen from the University of Arizona in Tucson and Lujendra Ojha, a PhD candidate from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta.
They worked together on a paper published earlier this year that looked into the significance of ‘tendrils’ in images of sloping ground on Mars – their assessment was that these tendrils were in fact rivulets of water
The presence of water on Mars, whether fresh or salty, would be a major step towards establishing whether microbial life ever did, or could, flourish on our nearest planetary neighbour
