Curiosity Cracked Open a Rock on Mars And Discovered a Huge Surprise - gortex - 07-12-2025
You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs but in Curiosity's case you can't find Elemental Sulfur without running over a rock , Curiosity rover's team took a look at the damaged rock and discovered their treasure.

Quote:When the rover rolled its 899-kilogram (1,982-pound) body over the fragile lump of mineral in May last year the deposit broke open, revealing yellow crystals of elemental sulfur: brimstone.
Although sulfates are fairly common on Mars, this represents the first time sulfur has been found on the red planet in its pure elemental form.
What's even more exciting is that the Gediz Vallis Channel, where Curiosity found the rock, is littered with objects that look suspiciously similar to the sulfur rock before it got fortuitously crushed – suggesting that, somehow, elemental sulfur may be abundant there in some places.

I think it safe to say the rover missions have found suitability for life occurring on Mars so time for NASA to send another mission to search for life , it's been decades since Viking found it.
