NASA has scheduled a press conference for 11:30 a.m. Eastern time Monday to "detail a major science finding from the agency's ongoing exploration of Mars," according to a release.
Details of the announcement haven't been leaked, but fact the director of planetary science and lead scientist for the Mars Exploration Program will both be on hand at the news conference is an indication of the level of importance NASA has placed on it.
Three university officials from Georgia Tech and the University of Arizona in Tuscon will also be present.
The event will air live on NASA's website, according to the release.
The public can use the hashtag #AskNASA to participate.
NASA recently revealed it was able to see Pluto like never before as a result of new photos from the Horizon Spacecraft.
