Nasa is preparing for a major announcement after its planet-hunting telescope found something in space.
Details on the revelation are sparse. But the agency only holds such events for significant breakthroughs, leading to speculation about what the Kepler space telescope might have found.
All Nasa has said is that it will hold an event at 1pm eastern time, or 6pm in the UK. It will be livestreamed on its website, and all the latest news will be shared here.
The announcement gave some sparse details about what to expect. The discovery has been made using Google's artificial intelligence technology, it said, and it will almost certainly offer news about an exoplanet.
Those suggestions offer some clues about what is going to be announced, but otherwise everything will be revealed when the event begins.
