NASA's Curiosity Mars Rover recently celebrated a decade on the red planet. Now, the Rover has finally made its way to the mineral-rich salty region on Mount Sharp and successfully drilled out its 36th rock sample named "Canaima." This 'sulfate-bearing unit' is predicted to contain vital information about the shift in the climatic conditions on Mars that rendered it as a frigid, inhospitable planet.
