Do you have a Steven Universe s/i? Your s/is are always very cool and interesting so I'd love to know if you do

Indeed I do! I’ve had this sitting around, so I might as well post it here:

Her name’s Jarosite, but she goes by Jaro for short. She’s one of the og Crystal Gems, not mention one peppy little Earth bender!

(and thank for the kind words about my s/i’s, that really means a lot to hear 😊)

Mineral Often Found on Mars Discovered Deep in Antarctic Ice

Scientists boring more than a mile deep into Antarctic ice have unearthed a mineral that's rarely seen on Earth but found in abundance on Mars

“The discovery of jarosite on Mars led scientists to come up with theories to explain how it might have originated. Some suggested it might have been left behind as salty water evaporated. Others suggested that Mars might have been covered by a massive ice blanket billons of years ago. They further suggested that jarosite could have formed in ice pockets. That would have been possible, they noted, if the ice blanket grew slowly with dust blowing onto it. At the time the theory was formulated, it was difficult to test because it had never been found to form that way anywhere else, including Earth. Now that jarosite has been found deep in Antarctic ice, the latter theory will likely become the most prominent. The researchers note that the theory still has one glitch—the ice in Antarctica contains very small amounts of jarosite—on Mars, the mineral is found in large slabs. The researchers suggest that the difference might be explained by the huge amounts of dust on the Martian surface.”
