An exciting discovery: Scientists were stunned when @MarsCuriosity found something never before seen on the Red Planet: yellow sulfur crystals.

While the rover has detected sulfur-based minerals before, this rock is made of pure, elemental sulfur. https://t.co/cDHIyRsuAR

Anyone else have thoughts on this?

[Dr. Jen Thweatt @JenThweatt]

@erik_cook Good question! There is of course the Astrobiology journal. But things also get published in general biochem journals.

[Dr. Jen Thweatt @JenThweatt]

@meehan Lol! I have no idea what this is about. You have a phantom friend that clearly owes you $1.

[Dr. Jen Thweatt @JenThweatt]

@idpemery Next phase is the... omg just throw that away phase.

[Dr. Jen Thweatt @JenThweatt]

@sumnerd Aww. But I hope they learn lots of cool stuff from it! I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for you all. 🤞🤞🤞

[Dr. Jen Thweatt @JenThweatt]
