HiRISE Stay tuned, HiFans, we'll be making a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT next Wednesday...! :-o Hmmm... is it literally something BIG, or maybe they found MPL? |

Because this is a HiRISE-only thing, I'm thinking it's not likely to be publication-related, since that would usually be coordinated with the rest of the MRO payload (and yes, there are other instruments on MRO. Sigh.)
And frankly, IMHO this is not a very professional way to "announce" anything. -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only. Any opinions are my own.

I remember that a Crism scientist once said that Crism would be able to detect a stromatolitic mat on Mars. Perhaps MRO has detected life on Mars?
