Curiosity mission director John Grotzinger appearently told NPR that the rover has made a discovery in a soil sample "for the history books", that will would rewrite "what we know about the universe".
NASA is otherwise tight lipped about what it is while the sample is being retested.
Let's hope the hyperbole is about more than perhaps just some new atomic element or unusual mineral.
