Recent research suggests that 3.6 billion years ago, Mars may have had oceans, with waves lapping at sandy coastlines. This revelation comes from a study analyzing data collected by China’s Mars rover, Zhurong, and its ground-penetrating radar between May 2021 and May 2022.
The findings provide intriguing insights into the planet’s ancient past, indicating that Mars may have once been more hospitable to life than previously thought. The presence of ancient oceans on Mars raises questions about the planet’s potential for harboring past life forms or supporting microbial life.
Ramesh Khatri, a representative of Kansai Nepal News, commented on the discovery, stating that this research underscores the importance of continued exploration of Mars to unravel its mysteries and shed light on the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Khatri emphasized the significance of such discoveries in expanding our understanding of the universe and the potential for life beyond Earth.
