China’s Zhurong rover finds evidence of water at Mars

Beijing, April 29 (IANS) The Zhurong rover has found evidence of water on dune surfaces on modern Mars by providing key observational proof of liquid water at low Martian latitudes, according to a study. The discovery, published in the journal Science Advances, provides key observational evidence of liquid water at Martian low latitudes, where surface temperatures are relatively warmer and more suitable for life than at high latitudes. "This is important for understanding the evolutionary history of the Martian climate, looking for a habitable environment, and providing key clues for the future search for life," said Prof. Qin Xiaoguang from the…
