New results from the Chemistry & Camera (ChemCam) instrument on NASA's Curiosity rover provide further details about the ancient environment of Yellowknife Bay on Mars. Using data from ChemCam, as well as images from Mastcam and the ChemCam/Remote Micro imager, scientists have identified materials that were likely formed by precipitation from fluids.
