Phoenix lander dig zoneCourtesy NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona/Texas A&M University Rumors are circulating that NASA's Phoenix Lander team has held briefings with the White House regarding some sort of forthcoming big announcement. It's unclear whether any briefings actually took place, but some folks wonder if NASA is hiding something. It could be the space agency is just doing their usual pre-hype of an upcoming announcement. Whatever the case, you can join in the speculation by going here and here or even here. Or you can listen to today's Phoenix Media Telecon and see if you can get some clues of what's happening.

Rumors no more... The NYTimes has the full story, and it's less exciting than the hype would have you believe. In fact, most news outlets had the scoop on Monday. (Buzz, too.)
Yes, I thought about just replying to your comment about perchlorite, but I wanted bring the story to the front page. Especially with the audio of yesterday's news conference (which turned out to be as dry as the Martian Plains).
Ah, very stealthy of you.
Aw, junk!
Why did the White House have to be briefed on that?
I'm just going to pretend that it's a cover-up.
Scientists are emphasizing that the presence of perchlorate on Mars does not mean there's no life there.
