Early findings from NASA's Mars Odyssey are to be detailed Friday at a science briefing, held at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California.

However, Mars Odyssey investigators remain tight-lipped about what the spacecraft is seeing, offering only subtle hints regarding the probe's scientific sleuthing.

Images from Odyssey's Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) have been called "amazing" by Stephen Saunders, Odyssey project scientist from JPL.
