Accidentally exposed yellowish-green crystals reveal ‘mind-blowing’ finding on Mars, scientists say
While surveying the site of an ancient channel on Mars, the Curiosity rover ran over a rock and discovered pure sulfur on the red planet for the first time.
The Curiosity team was eager for the rover to investigate the Gediz Vallis channel, a winding groove that appears to have been created 3 billion years ago by a mix of flowing water and debris. While approaching Gediz Vallis channel, Curiosity sent back pictures of an unusual sight: a flat area, about half the size of a football field, scattered with bright white hand-size rocks.
