Overview

• Curiosity rover captured a 360-degree panorama of Gediz Vallis, revealing bright white sulfur stones.
• The sulfur stones, found earlier this year, are a geological mystery with no clear Earth-like formation process.
• Scientists are puzzled by the presence of pure sulfur, typically associated with volcanic or hydrothermal activity on Earth.
• Curiosity is now set to explore the boxwork formations, which may provide insights into ancient water activity on Mars.
• The rover's findings contribute to understanding Mars' potential to have supported microbial life in its wetter past.
