Scientists working on NASA's six-wheeled rover on Mars have a problem. But it's a good problem.

They have some exciting new results from one of the rover's instruments. On the one hand, they'd like to tell everybody what they found, but on the other, they have to wait because they want to make sure their results are not just some fluke or error in their instrument.

It's a bind scientists frequently find themselves in, because by their nature, scientists like to share their results. At the same time, they're cautious because no one likes to make a big announcement and then have to say "never mind."

The exciting results are coming from an instrument in the rover called SAM. "We're getting data from SAM as we sit here and speak, and the data looks really interesting," John Grotzinger, the principal investigator for the rover mission, says during my visit last week to his office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. That's where data from SAM first arrive on Earth. "The science team is busily chewing away on it as it comes down," says Grotzinger.

SAM is a kind of miniature chemistry lab. Put a sample of Martian soil or rock or even air inside SAM, and it will tell you what the sample is made of.

Grotzinger says they recently put a soil sample in SAM, and the analysis shows something earthshaking. "This data is gonna be one for the history books. It's looking really good," he says.

So it's an announcement of an announcement.

Gah.

Pretty interesting. I think it's either a bacteria, a carbon based life form, or indications of water. That's my bet at least!

Hope they can confirm it to be true! Will be fun to see what it is.

They found gold minerals on mars. Muling them as we speak.

Well thats interesting. There is already strong evidence of water on mars, so my bet would be on some form of life.

I don't think they would make an announcement of an announcement of life on mars. They would just probably go WTF GUYS WE FOUND LIFE ON MARS!!!!111

So my money is on something water related, like they found a rock with an unusual high percentage of water which might indicate that there are subterranean (submartian?) rivers or something to that effect.

They found evidence of an ancient Prothea...

I wish. But it's probably something more down to earth. Hopefully evidence that life on Mars previously existed.

could someone update with one of those pics that shows route travelled and current position on Sol # (whatever)?

I am wondering if they found organics in the soil, any organics would be pretty awesome.

That's exactly what they would not do if they had found evidence of life.

Incontrol is now doing the PR for curiosity.

Its fun to imagine crazy things being found and people reaction to them. Imagine the find a cross just posted in the middle of mars, or one random box of eggos.

For the history books? For a scientist to say that makes me giddy with excitement to see what they got.

I was having an interview at JPL today. My dad (who's an employee there himself) sent me the article to me earlier today. When I talked to my interviewer about it she hadn't heard of the story yet and was surprised on how informed I was.

SUCCESS!

What scientists find for the history books is hugely different than what other people imagine for the history books. I predict they found moisture in the sample, which means water.
