Accidentally exposed yellowish-green crystals reveal ‘mind-blowing’ finding on #Mars, scientists say

‘The #CuriosityRover has made its most unusual find to date on Mars: rocks made of pure sulfur. And it all began when the 1-ton rover happened to drive over a rock and crack it open, revealing yellowish-green crystals never spotted before on the red planet.’
