Even with such an intriguing find now gathered, the mission of the Curiosity is still not finished. It is now being guided away from the sulfur crystal channel to go in search of even more new finds on the red planet. Exploration on Mars has been relatively limited in our history thus far, so there is no doubt far more to discover even beyond the captivating yellow crystals that were discovered.
The particular channel where the pure sulfur was discovered had already been of interest to scientists due to the unusual formation of rock debris in the area. They believe it must have been formed by being violently shifted, which leads scientists to think that it was caused by Mars once having water that washed the rocks into their current locations. Beyond Mars having the yellow crystals, the rock formations in the channel also suggest Mars once had raging floodwaters.
