NASA is going to be holding a press conference on December 2nd, and the line-up of panelists has some speculating<\/a> that they will be announcing that they have discovered life elsewhere than on Earth (or at least from<\/i> elsewhere). The NASA press release<\/a> simply says that it relates to an \u201castrobiology discovery\u201d and that it will \u201cdiscuss an astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life.\u201d <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll all be eagerly awaiting the announcement \u2013 in the mean time, feel free to speculate wildly!<\/p>\n
