Scientists Make Unprecedented Discovery on Mars by Accident

/11 Comments/in , , /by

NASA scientists expressed that they were “stunned” after their Mars Curiosity rover cracked open a rock that was found to contain pure sulfur crystals, a NASA press release read Thursday.

The Curiosity rover’s social media account tweeted that the “pure sulfur … doesn’t smell” and the discovery of elemental sulfur “is something we’ve never seen before on Mars.”

“We don’t know much about these yellow crystals yet, but my team is excited to investigate,” the rover tweeted.

NASA scientists are still unsure “what relationship, if any, the elemental sulfur has to other sulfur-based minerals in the area” the rock was found in, according to the press release. NASA added that all previous discoveries were that of “sulfur-based minerals — in other words, a mix of sulfur and other materials.”

The rover — following its unprecedented discovery — has found “an entire field of bright rocks that look similar to the one the rover crushed,” the press release revealed. (Read more from “Scientists Make Unprecedented Discovery on Mars by Accident” HERE)

‘Crashed Flying Saucer’ Spotted on Mars

A South African researcher discovered what appears to be an image of a crashed flying saucer on the surface of Mars, according to re-analyzed NASA footage from 2006.

Jean Ward, an anomaly hunter, was searching through NASA images for noteworthy aberrations when he discovered the image taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Despite the image being 15 years old, Ward’s discovery of what appears to be the flying saucer is not.

The image comes from the bottom of Candor Chasma, which is a large canyon in the Valles Marineris system on Mars. The canyon is referred to as “The Grand Canyon of Mars,” and spans the equivalent of the U.S. It is the largest known canyon in the solar system.

This footage from NASA captures the canyon’s many swirling patterns of layers, created by sand and dust-sized particles from the forces of either wind or water. (Read more from “‘Crashed Flying Saucer’ Spotted on Mars” HERE)

It’s been an amazing week in space exploration.

The Curiosity rover on Mars has uncovered further evidence that “The Red Planet” may have once had a great lake. Plus, NASA has released incredible new photos of Saturn that give a never-before-seen view of the sixth planet from the Sun.

Bill Nye said on “America’s New Headquarters” today that we are learning that the moons of Saturn are changing over the years. A joint mission between NASA and the European Space Agency discovered that the surface of the moons have changed noticeably, just in the past decade.

“The more we learn about these other places in the Solar System, the more we learn about the Solar System, and we work our way to answering these deep questions: Where did we come from? How did we all get here? Are we alone in the universe?” Nye said.
