China’s Mars Rover Discovers Ancient Beach, Strengthening Evidence of Past Life
China’s Zhurong rover has made a groundbreaking discovery on Mars, uncovering what appears to be an ancient beach. This finding supports the idea that Mars once had large bodies of water.
The rover’s analysis suggests that “water once flowed across this part of Mars,” shaping the terrain into a beach-like structure. Scientists believe this strengthens the case for past habitability.
Zhurong, part of the Tianwen-1 mission, has been exploring Mars since 2021. This discovery could be key to “unlocking some of the greatest mysteries about the Red Planet.”
