Evidence of an historic ocean on Mars has been probably uncovered by China’s Zhurong rover, scientists report. Data gathered by the now-defunct rover signifies a doable historic shoreline in Mars’ northern hemisphere. Researchers at Hong Kong Polytechnic University, together with lead scientist Bo Wu, imagine these findings help long-standing theories of a giant Martian ocean that existed billions of years in the past. The Zhurong rover, which travelled roughly 2 kilometres throughout the Utopia Planitia basin, relayed this knowledge by means of observations from its onboard cameras and ground-penetrating radar.

The examine describing the findings was printed within the journal Scientific Reports. Through Zhurong’s exploration, researchers recognized options presumably associated to water exercise, together with pitted cones, channels, and formations resembling mud volcanoes. Such constructions, the scientists counsel, may characterize a coastal panorama formed by the once-existing ocean. Further evaluation of the floor deposits signifies that the ocean could have existed round 3.68 billion years in the past, probably containing silt-laden water that left distinct geological layers on the Martian panorama.
Complex History of Water on Mars

The analysis group posits that Mars’ historic ocean could have skilled phases of freezing and thawing, contributing to the formation of the noticed shoreline. Sergey Krasilnikov of Hong Kong Polytechnic University famous that the ocean could have frozen over for about 10,000 to 100,000 years earlier than fully drying up, roughly 260 million years later. Wu acknowledged the issue in conclusively figuring out the shoreline as a consequence of erosion over millennia however proposed that asteroid impacts may have preserved sure areas of the shoreline.

Future Prospects for Verifying Mars’ Water History

Despite Zhurong’s findings, scientists acknowledge that definitive proof of Mars’ historic water historical past would require evaluation of Martian samples on Earth. China’s Tianwen 3 mission, set to launch in 2028, goals to return floor samples by 2031. In comparability, NASA’s Mars Sample Return mission is projected to return samples within the 2030s.
