Sharp in the middle of Gale Crater, NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity has discovered a two-tone vein of minerals that reveals multiple episodes of water flowing through rock – even after the lake that once filled the bottom of the crater had ceased to be.

Cresco plans to build 40,000-square-foot growing facilities in Joliet, Kankakee and Lincoln, but the litigation could delay construction.
