Mars Rover accidentally ran over a rock and broke it open — revealing mysterious yellow crystals inside More life-related ...

The rover crushed a section of rock with its wheels and discovered a rare sample of pure yellow sulfur crystals.

In an unexpected turn of events, NASA’s Curiosity rover has cracked open a rock on Mars, uncovering something so surprising ...

The crystals are pure sulfur, a first-time find on Mars. While researchers are intrigued, it is not fully known why it formed in this region.

NASA scientists say pure sulfur has been found on Mars for the first time after the Curiosity rover inadvertently uncovered a cluster of yellow crystals when it drove over a rock.

Previously, the rover uncovered minerals mixed with sulfur. But this is the first time pure sulfur has been discovered on Mars.

Pure sulfur, on the other hand, only forms under a very narrow set of conditions, which are not known to have occurred in the region of Mars where Curiosity made its discovery.

The yellow sulfur crystals in a pure form have never been seen before on Mars. Earlier findings have been sulfur-based minerals, or a mixture of sulfur and other materials, according to NASA.

NASA's Curiosity rover made a significant discovery of sulfur crystals, which was the first in its Mars exploration.

Although sulfur-based minerals (a mix of sulfur with other materials) have been found on Mars before, this is the first discovery of rocks made of pure sulfur.
