On May 14, 2021, China became the second country to ever deploy a rover on the Martian surface. Named Zhurong after the ancient Chinese god of fire, the rover landed on Mars’ Utopia Planitia ...
Scientists discovered signs of an ocean's worth of liquid water miles below Mars' surface. The findings, based on Marsquake measurements by NASA's InSight lander, could help solve a mystery.

Humans have explored less than 4% of the ocean floor, and dozens of new species of deep sea creatures are discovered with every dive. The submarine DSV Alvin —owned by the US Navy and operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts —exemplifies the type of craft used to explore deep water.
Zhurong (Chinese: 祝融; pinyin: Zhùróng) is a Chinese rover on Mars, the country's first to land on another planet after it previously landed two rovers on the Moon.The rover is part of the Tianwen-1 mission to Mars conducted by the China National Space Administration (CNSA).
The animal was so unique that they had no idea what it was until they did genetic testing. It turned out to be a new species of sea slug that's perfectly adapted to the deep ocean.
There may be much more water further below the surface; the instruments aboard the Mars Odyssey are only able to study the top meter or so of soil. If all holes in the soil were filled by water, this would correspond to a global layer of water 0.5 to 1.5 km deep. [41] The Phoenix lander confirmed the initial findings of the Mars Odyssey. [42]
This means that Mars has lost a volume of water 6.5 times what is stored in today's polar caps. The water for a time would have formed an ocean in the low-lying Mare Boreum. The amount of water could have covered the planet about 140 meters, but was probably in an ocean that in places would be almost 1 mile deep. [1] [2]
