Originally Published 5 months ago — by Gizmodo
Scientists have potentially discovered a new mineral on Mars, a ferric hydroxysulfate compound found near Valles Marineris, which may have formed through volcanic activity in the presence of oxygen and water at high temperatures. This discovery could provide insights into Mars' geological history and past water activity, and further research is needed to confirm its status as a new mineral on Earth.
