Andrew H. Knoll of Harvard, a member of the mission team, said the layers could also have formed out of ash from successive volcanic eruptions. Scientists cannot tell from the photographs alone which explanation is more likely.

This contradicts the title. If there is an alternate explanation, then it isn't "confirmation".

"...suggesting that the rock was formed by sediment swept down by ancient waters...

Nowhere in the article does it say water was found. Only that "ancient waters" may have formed the sediments. I wonder why the title would be so misleading?

Headline is incorrect. No confirmation as yet from Opportunity. Besides, ESA has already confirmed this week, so the next weekly confirmation shouldn't be until next week.

Right now you are probably on Double Secret Probation....

Be more careful next time.....
