New Discovery Challenges What We Know About Water On Mars

If you visited Mars today, you'd find a dry, inhospitable desert.

[{ "selector": ".iicfo-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 423px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

But billions of years ago, Mars was very different, and may even have looked a lot like Earth

[{ "selector": ".awjni-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 392px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

Today, there is very little water on Mars

Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences looked at data from the rover's microimaging camera and two spectrometers

[{ "selector": ".dmnpq-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 382px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

They also found material called duricrust in layers, which forms when there is water present

[{ "selector": ".sxadj-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 405px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

Previously, the assumption had been that water was present on Mars up until around three billion years ago

[{ "selector": ".rlrxa-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 376px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

The research using data from the Zhurong rover seems to support the concept of water being present

[{ "selector": ".kstgw-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 406px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]
