After six months in the Martian soil, the Curiosity robot finally started drilling and analysis of rocks on Mars. On Saturday morning (09/02/2013), NASA released an image into a Twitter account dedicated exclusively to the mission. The picture showed a small hole on the Martian surface, measuring about 1.60 cm in diameter and 6.35 inches deep. The site chosen for the mission was the Gale Crater, since images suggest that once housed its surface water at some point.

After a while, most of these people were quite disappointed, after all, nothing astonishing was found. Although it’s work didn’t created much of news, the sensors of Curiosity recently found something that is making NASA scientists very excited. According to John Grotzinger, principal investigator for the Curiosity rover mission, these new information have great chances of entering the history books. However, the NASA didn’t confirm or disclose any facts regarding this report as of this date, because they did not want to risk disclose something that is not true, as that would take away the credit of future results coming from Curiosity.
