NASA announced that its scientists finally have answers to the mysteries on the Red Planet, but people will still have to wait before noon for the reveal.

NASA took to social media on Thursday that it will announce the "major science finding" today, Monday, Sept. 28, at 11:30 a.m. EST, according to the agency's release. It will broadcast the finding live online from NASA's headquarters based in Washington, D.C.

NASA has also enlisted experts who will be speaking at the upcoming announcement, providing some clues as to what has been found on Mars.

Experts who will be speaking on Monday's conference include, as expected, NASA Director of Planetary Science Jim Green and Mars Exploration Program lead scientist Michael Meyer.

The conference will also include High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) principal investigator, Alfred McEwen; Mary Beth Wilhelm, who once studied the habitability of the Red Planet; and Georgia Institute of Technology's Ph.D. candidate in Planetary Science, Lujendra Ojha, who discovered flowing salt water on the planet back in 2011.

Since NASA's announcement on social media, fans went on with their own speculations. Some people even joked that NASA has finally found Mark Watney, a fictional character played by Matt Damon in the upcoming movie "The Martian," CNN reported.

While a lot of people are hoping that the news could be somewhat related to life on Mars, evidence hints that it will most probably be about the flowing water discovery.

The space agency also previously revealed that conditions in Mars are favorable for life and exploring its surface more should give more clues if life exists somewhere on the Red Planet.

According to the agency's press release, the conference will hold a brief Q&A session with reporters on the site or through phone.

The public is also welcome to ask questions during the conference with the hashtag #AskNASA.
