Nasa’s Curiosity rover just lately found an abundance of pure sulphur on Mars after it drove a rock over and cracked it open, which shocked the scientists. This six-wheeled iconic man-made rover noticed sulphur on Mars with solely a combination of minerals which included calcium and magnesium. This pure sulphur is an odourless component that’s fashioned in very particular circumstances which have been linked to the rover’s location that seemed to be infused in lots of rocks throughout the area.
In accordance with a press release launched by NASA, “Discovering a area of stones product of pure sulfur is like discovering an oasis within the desert,” Ashwin Vasavada, who’s the mission’s undertaking scientist on the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, mentioned within the assertion.”It should not be there, so now now we have to clarify it.”
Within the launched picture, the yellow sulphur which has been just lately found will be seen crowding inside the internal areas of the article’s crushed pockets making it fascinating to witness. These crystals are too small and brittle for a curiosity pattern, subsequently the crew ended up parking close to one other giant rock nicknamed Mammoth Lakes and began their course of on it. The rover drill has a robotic arm that scoops out a bit and creates a gap, which is then saved for additional evaluation earlier than being taken away.

The Curiosity mission is in its twelfth yr and stumbled upon its newest discovery on Could 30 this yr after they have been exploring the Gediz Vallis, which is a channel winding down the slopes of Mount Sharp, across the middle of the Gale Crater. The rover is subsequently finding out the channel for the previous months for indicators of an historic microbial life on Mars. Curiosity additionally recognized some indicators of particles scattered inside the channel, with the rocks sporting pale rings attributable to water-led chemical compounds and a few minerals deposited across the space.
