I am grateful that rover images are posted on the Web for the public to see but it's frustrating at the same time to the lack of scientific info as to what the findings are regarding these rocks at this location. Perhaps it reflects the fact that the science community has not made up its mind yet about these findings? Depends what you mean by "findings". The best place to hear preliminary results and maybe interpretation from the instruments seems to be the monthly PS updates - the next one should be about 2 weeks from now. The occasional press release might also have some info. But as far as proper results go, the gold standard is publication, and it can take many months for a paper to appear. The results need to be checked and double checked, the multiple authors' various schedules may not overlap, the paper must go through review, etc... |
