Mars Curiosity rover team set to announce 'major discovery' on surface of Red Planet that 'will be one for the history books'

Rover team make finding with instrument designed to identity signs of life
'Earthshaking' discovery will be fully announced early next month'

Nasa's Mars Curiosity rover has reportedly made a major discovery on the Red Planet - but scientists are keeping quiet about what it is.

The finding was made by the six-wheeled rover's Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument in the Rocknest area of the Gale Crate, close to where the rover touched down.

SAM is Curiosity's on-board chemistry lab and is able to take a sample of Martian rock, soil or air and find out what it is made of.

Most importantly, it is capable of identifying organic compounds - carbon containing substances that could indicate life.

Im pretty positive this is going to mean life on mars. Something a lot of people think is true. This is just my guess though, might not be.

So I guess they either found some microscopic life, or figured based on the soil and air that life could exist on the planet. Too bad they would never tell us about extraterrestrials even if they do find them.
