Reservoir of Hidden Water Found On Mars
In 2021, Zhurong, a Chinese space probe, descended and landed in the exact same location as NASA’s Viking 2 lander – Utopia Planitia, a plain in the northern hemisphere of Mars. While Zhurong is still orbiting Mars for the purpose of discovering ancient life, it was reported back to researchers the discovery of wet minerals within the Utopia Planitia Basin. This exciting revelation points to a potential of life on Mars, whether it be presently or in the past.
