China’s Mars rover discovers longer water existence on red planet

Chinese scientists, using data from the Zhurong rover, have found evidence of significant water activity on Mars as recently as 750 million years ago—much later than previously thought. The study, by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, revealed a uniform 4-meter-thick sedimentary layer and centimeter-scale layers at Zhurong’s southern Utopia Planitia landing site, indicating a shallow sea or large lake. These findings shed new light on Mars’ climatic history, geological processes, and potential habitability.
