Mars news

NASA HQ has a press conference wednesday at 1 pm on news on Mars discoveries from the now defunct Mars Global Surveyor.
Not coincidentally, perchance, NASAwatch has a pointer to Aviation Week news snippet on MGS having seen evidence for current flowing liquid water on Mars

This would be very very interesting, if that is the news and if confirmed by current generation of orbiters.

More tomorrow. News is embargoed (and AW&ST is in deep shit if they broke embargo on this).

PS more on Cumbrian Sky

and astronote

Here is a picture that might have started some of the speculation

From Malin Space Science Systems

Mars Global Surveyor website

Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter website with MGS gone, MRS is best bet to confirm this possible claim.
