The MSL Curiosity rover has been exploring Mars since its landing in Gale crater in 2012. Since 2014 the rover has been traversing up through younger sediments in the central mound of Gale crater, allowing the past habitability from these different environments to be assessed. Recently, the rover traversed through a channel that may represent the most recent liquid water in Gale crater. Samples drilled by the rover and analyzed by the XRD, CheMin, on Curiosity contain secondary phases that indicate potentially past habitable environments. These include clay minerals, which are particularly exciting due to the types of environments that they may indicate and the fact that they had not been observed for almost 400 vertical meters. The clay minerals were likely physically displaced from higher in the section, providing evidence for potentially long-lived durations of past aqueous and habitable environments. These environments may include weathering at the surface at an unconformity that the rover is approaching. Clay minerals were also detected in the host rock in a region of large fractures potentially formed from groundwater flow that may also represent past habitable conditions. These recent detections provide exciting information regarding potential long-lived past habitable conditions at Gale crater, Mars.
