Someone alert Elon Musk.

NASA’s Curiosity rover made a “mind-blowing” discovery on Mars — yellowish-green crystals of pure sulfur, never before seen on Earth’s mysterious red neighbor, according to scientists.

The literal ground-breaking find was made after the one-ton Curiosity drove over a pile of rocks and cracked one open while probing the deep and winding Gediz Vallis channel, believed to have been formed by water 3 billion years ago.

“I think it’s the strangest find of the whole mission and the most unexpected,” Ashwin Vasavada, Curiosity project scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory [JPL] in Pasadena, California, told CNN. “I have to...

What if a never-before-seen asteroid barreling in our direction was likely to strike Earth? 

That’s the hypothetical scenario NASA astronomers tested with a recent simulation in which officials attempted to plan for an asteroid that had a 72% chance of hitting Earth in just 14 years. 

After the theoretical timeline was posed to a group of nearly 100 government representatives in April, NASA found that the best plan they made to counter the horrifying doomsday scenario had several “high-level gaps,” according to their presentation.

An asteroid around the size of the Washington Monument is set to flash by Earth this month. The so-named 2024 MK asteroid will come even closer than the orbit of the moon on June 29 and is estimated to be around 394 to 885 feet in diameter. The asteroid could pass some 50,000 miles closer than the moon, according to NASA's Center for Near Earth Object Studies.

NASA’s Curiosity rover discovered rocks made of pure sulfur on Mars, one of the six elemental building blocks of life, in May, according to CNN. Curiosity project scientist, Ashwin Vasavada, told CNN the discovery was “mind-blowing.” “I think it’s the strangest find of the whole mission and the most unexpected,” he added. The team reportedly saw white rocks during their decade-long summit of Mount Sharp, and began moving toward them. The detour took the rover over a rock, which broke under the rover’s 1-ton weight, revealing shiny green and yellow crystals, never seen on Mars. “I have to say, there’s a lot of luck involved here. Not every rock has something interesting inside,” Vasavada said of the discovery. Using instruments in the rover, researchers were able to determine the rock contained pure sulfur. NASA’s previous rover, Spirit, which rolled around the red planet from 2004 to 2011, also made an accidental discovery when a wheel broke and the team began reversing the rover, revealing the trail of pure silica on the ground. The team, inspired their Spirit discovery, turned the rover around after breaking the rock to discover the sulfur.Read it at CNNRead more at The Daily Beast.
