NASA to reveal news of a new Mars discovery
NASA on Thursday announced on social media that it would reveal news of a Mars discovery, sending space fans into a speculation frenzy.
People bombarded the agency with an array of questions on Twitter, hoping that NASA discovered some kind of life on the Red Planet.
A few joked that the space agency finally located Mark Watney, a fictional astronaut stranded on Mars played by Matt Damon in the upcoming space adventure movie “The Martian.”
As much as everyone is hoping for aliens, it’s probably not aliens. However, the space agency has said in the past that Mars did have conditions once suitable for life and more exploration could provide clues into whether life remains somewhere on the cold planet.
It is expected that Monday’s announcement will have important implications toward our understanding of Mars.
Jim Green, director of planetary science at NASA headquarters, will be taking part in Monday’s news conference. Michael Meyer, lead scientist for the Mars Exploration Program, and other researchers will be participatingas well.
