๐จ **MARS HAD AN OCEAN? CHINESE ROVER DIGS UP NEW EVIDENCE**…Chinaโs Zhurong rover has uncovered 10-35 meter-thick sloping deposits beneath Utopia Planitia, a vast plain in Marsโ northern lowlands, resembling coastal sediments on Earth-strong evidence that a massive ocean once covered a third of the planet.
For years, scientists debated the idea because Marsโ ancient shorelines didnโt quite add up.
Thanks to Zhurongโs subsurface radar, researchers from China and t
he U.S. now say the planet likely had a long-lasting ocean, not just a short-lived puddle.
