I'm so confused. "Definitive signs"? Is this the Nasa announcement or something else? I thought it didn't start for another 15 minutes.

  This is most likely the Nasa announcement. Remember folks! Science doesn't happen in a vacuum. The scientific papers that outline this analysis was already available in astronomy circles - the Nasa event is the press conference letting the bigger community know. It's not like it's a secret! All the measurements were already made by the Orbitor and is presumably analysed by researchers around the world prior to this unveiling.

    "Science doesn't happen in a vacuum." This is NASA we're talking about, right? ;)

    And I assume they publish in peer-reviewed journals, so there've been a few others with the actual manuscript.
