Geoscientists from the University of Cologne have led an international research team in pinpointing the origins of the asteroid responsible for the extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs around 66 million years ago. By examining samples from the boundary layer between the Cretaceous and Paleogene periods-a time that marked Earth's last major mass extinction-the researchers identified the

Curiosity didn't kill the cat in this case. Instead, NASA's 1-ton rover, which for the past 12 years has been searching for the building blocks of life on Mars, discovered something never before detected on the red planet: pure sulfur. And it all happened by chance.
