TL;DR Summary

The Chinese rover Zhurong has discovered 16 polygonal structures buried beneath the surface of Mars, shedding light on the planet's geological history and past climate. These formations, believed to be the result of a freeze-thaw cycle, are much larger than those found on Earth. The discovery in Utopia Planitia, a significant impact basin, provides valuable insights into Mars' ancient landscape and potential changes in its axial tilt, offering new avenues for understanding the planet's past climate and atmospheric conditions.
