No further details are available on the nature of the mystery. However, among those speaking at the briefing will be Alfred McEwen from the University of Arizona in Tucson, who in July published a study on slope activity in Mars's Gale crater, and Lujendra Ojha, a PhD candidate from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta who has collaborated with McEwen and has also studied the possible water activity on Mars.





Scientist Mr Lujendra Ojha first came up with the theory that Mars has liquid salt water flowing through it during its warmer months.
