(CNN)NASA is tantalizing the world with big Mars news.

It says a mystery enshrouding the Red Planet has been solved.

The space agency is scheduled to announce a "major science finding" on Monday.

A special news conference is slated for 11:30 a.m. ET, and will be broadcast live on NASA Television as well as its website.

NASA on Thursday announced on social media that it would reveal news of a Mars discovery, sending space fans into a speculation frenzy.

Running water is impossible on Mars.

At least on the surface.

My money is Curiosity has found evidence with its chemical analyzers that represents proof of past life on Mars rather than saying it was possible.

It'll be another "life is theoretically possible on Mars!"

It's a "spoiler" revealed both in the first 5 minutes and the trailer.

What it probably is.

Will be annoying if true though. You don't need to tempt and hint something as minor as that.

Conclusive proof yes....yet another line of evidence that implies it....no.

A NASAWatch reader artfully tipped us off to this session of the European Planetary Science Congress 2015 in France on Monday, 28 September - and one paper authored by several of the participants (McEwen and Ojha) in the NASA press conference:

17:00-17:15 EPSC2015-786 Recurring Slope Lineae on Mars: Atmospheric Origin?, AS McEwen, M Chojnacki, C Dundas, L Ojha, M Masse, E Schaefer, and C Leung

"Recurring Slope Lineae (RSL) are seasonal flows or seeps on warm Martian slopes. Observed gradual or incremental growth, fading, and yearly recurrence can be explained by seasonal seeps of water, which is probably salty. The origin of the water is not understood, but several observations indicate a key role for atmospheric processes. If sufficient deliquescent salts are present at these locations, the water could be entirely of atmospheric origin."

That would be amazing if so.


I thought the bigger problem to liquid water wasn't just how cold it is, but the super low pressure there. It would almost immediately boil away. Its a one two punch that I thought limited water to either be frozen or gas.

Flows have already been found...

There are other interesting things there that they have obstructed the signals on.
