NASA wants to talk to us about Mars, and that can mean only one thing. Aliens.
Really though, people are on the edge of their proverbial seats after the space agency tweeted a teaser suggesting that they could be making a major announcement at a press conference later today.
Will it really be aliens? Probably not, but it hasn't stopped some from speculating.
A more realistic discovery could be liquid water. This theory gained momentum after it was announced that Lujendra Ojha would be speaking at the press conference. The grad student at Georgia Tech is credited with ‘accidentally' discovering the first major evidence that moving water existed on Mars when studying images of the planet's surface back in 2011.
Why is liquid water so significant?
Frozen water has already been confirmed at the poles and belt glaciers on Mars. Liquid water could lead us to larger streams, which in turn could sustain life.
Chris Carberry, executive director of sExplore Mars, told the Boston Herald.
