So what is the big news from curiosity that the scientists are keeping under wraps. Even though it is not very clear what the news is, it is something phenomenal enough to go in the history books.

The mystery will be revealed shortly, though. Grotzinger told Wired through e-mail that NASA would hold a press conference about the results during the 2012 American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco from Dec. 3 to 7.

The scientists want to thoroughly check the results before revealing it to the public.

Let us see what the future brings.
