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

When NASA’s Curiosity rover ran over a rock on Mars, crushing it with its tires, the incident revealed an abundance of super rare sulfur crystals. The yellow crystals have never been seen on the ...

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.

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

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.

Scientists realized they’d found a field of pure sulfur stones after the Curiosity rover accidentally crushed one of them, exposing the crystals, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory wrote this ...

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.

This region was found to have lots of sulfates—a salt containing sulfur—in the soil. However, what the rover found inside the rock wasn't sulfate but crystals of pure sulfur.

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