The rover landed in Utopia Planitia, a plain within the largest known impact basin on Mars, near a series of ridges in the planet’s northern hemisphere. Scientists have long questioned whether ...

The idea of an ancient Martian ocean has fascinated scientists for decades. Now, groundbreaking research based on radar scans ...

"We found evidence for wind, waves, no shortage of sand—a proper, vacation-style beach," said geologist Benjamin Cardenas.

The geological data was collected by the Chinese rover on Mars, Zhurong, which landed on the fourth rock from the sun back in 2021 — staking out an area known as the Utopia Planitia, a 2,100 ...

Zhurong landed within Utopia Planitia, a vast expanse and the largest impact basin on Mars which stretches some 3,300km in diameter. Zhurong is investigating an area near a series of ridges ...

One such formation, Utopia Planitia, a large plain in Mars’s northern hemisphere, was selected as the landing site for Zhurong, which touched down on Mars on May 15, 2021. The northern lowlands ...

The six-wheeled rover was sent to investigate Utopia Planitia, a region far from NASA's Curiosity and Perseverance rovers. It's the same rubbly plain where the U.S. Viking 2 lander touched down in ...

The evidence comes from data collected by China’s Zhurong Mars rover, which landed in the Utopia Planitia region of Mars in 2021. Unlike other rovers traversing the planet, Zhurong arrived with ...

The rover explored in the southern part of Utopia Planitia, a large plain in the Martian northern hemisphere. The researchers ruled out other possible explanations for the structures Zhurong detected.

During its yearlong mission, the Zhurong rover traveled 1.9 kilometers across the southern Utopia Planitia, one of Mars' largest impact basins. The region has long intrigued scientists who suspected ...
