China’s Zhurong rover has found compelling evidence of a shoreline from a short-lived ancient ocean on Mars. This new evidence is lending credence to the theory that Mars was once a water world.

By James WoodfordA possible ancient shoreline has been found in the region of Mars explored by the Chinese rover Zhurong, providing further evidence that an ocean may once have covered a vast area of the lowlands in the planet’s northern hemisphere.

New evidence collected by China's Zhurong rover makes a compelling case for the existence of ancient oceans on Mars.
