  • China's Zhurong rover used ground-penetrating radar to find signs of beaches beneath Mars' surface, adding evidence to the idea the planet hosted an ancient ocean.

China's Yutu-2 rover, part of the Chang'e-4 mission, has made a significant discovery on the moon's far side, uncovering evidence of ancient water in the form of small impact craters filled with impact melt. These findings suggest that the lunar surface once experienced interactions with water or ice, potentially from meteorite impacts. The rover's analysis of these craters, which are about 100 meters in diameter, indicates that the impact melt could have trapped volatiles, including water, from the impacting body. This discovery not only enhances our understanding of the moon's geological history but also has implications for future lunar exploration and resource utilization.
