An additional instrument onboard the rover has now confirmed the presence of Sulphur (S) in the region, providing a tantalizing clue about the planet's geological history. The Alpha Particle X-ray Spectroscope (APXS), an advanced tool designed to analyze the elemental composition of Martian soil and rocks, has been instrumental in this discovery.

In 2021 the #ClubOfRome, #Netherlands branch asserted that #pollution from shipping has a #globalCooling effect. Ie. toxic #sulphur emissions have blocked out #sun and cooled.
They credit less polluting #shipping regulatons + #covid reductons with "#AerosolTerminationShock" that *boost* #globalWarming.

Some spin this to justify #pollution…
Stop! Prison.

‘We’re changing the clouds.’ An unforeseen test of geoengineering is fueling record ocean warmth | Science | AAAS
Pollution from ships was keeping oceans cooler. A global regulation to clean it up decreased cloud formation. The effect can be reinstated through salt injection.

What a difference a few weeks makes. When I first saw this at the beginning of June it was quite small. It has grown significantly since then. We can now see all the different layers. It is a really stunning yellow.

Elemental composition analysis using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (#EDX/#EDS) picks up #calcium, #sulphur (#sulfur), but #phosphorus only occasionally! 🧪🔍
The #mystery crystals turn out to be calcium sulphate, with uncanny resemblance to the crystal habit of α-calcium sulphate hemihydrate!!!!! 🔬

I woke up with a thought in my head concerning grandad's medicine.
Fo those who don't know me that well, I inherited my grandad's notebooks from the 1930's and I discovered he was interested in #alchemy too.
He built several odd apparati and documented many chemical experiments- most pretty mundane.
His last project before he passed in the early nineties, after a long career in industrial chemistry, was a topical medicine to treat HIV.
He tried to sell the formula to drug companies, but because he did his own clinical trials they took a pass. (Yes, he found volunteers to try it). His descriptive materials were also -obtuse. At best.
I believe this substance has far wider ranging properties and uses than he let on.
I made some last summer. It #stinks to high hell.
Anyway, I woke with the answer to a problem that's been vexing me and puts this medicine firmly back into #alchemy.
I now know which components are represented symbolically by #Mercury, #Sulphur and #Salt. Therefore, I also know their proportions.
I can apply these numerical proportions to other aspects of #alchemy. This could be huge.
Praise the Eyes of Ra for opening my up my vision!
