Mars Rover Makes Discovery For "the History Books," but NASA Is Keeping It a
Secret For Now:
"Curiosity is living up to its name. The NASA rover currently wheeling itself around
Mars has apparently sent back some very interesting data from the Red Planet in
the form of a soil sample that shows ... well, something. From the sounds of it,
something big. But for now at least, that's all anyone is willing to say.
Scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena are keeping their lips
sealed for the time being while they run additional tests to make sure the
discovery holds up. That, however, hasn't stopped one of the mission's leaders
from speculating loudly that it'll be one that rewrites at least some of what we
know about the universe."
