"Bizarre Polygon Structures Discovered Beneath Mars' Surface"

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.

"Mysterious Polygons Unearthed by China's Mars Rover"

China's Mars rover, Zhurong, has discovered underground polygon structures beneath the surface of Mars using ground-penetrating radar. The polygons, likely formed by ice, were found in Utopia Planitia and suggest a wide distribution of similar terrain. The findings indicate the presence of water on Mars during the Late Hesperian–Early Amazonian eras, between 3.7 and 2.9 billion years ago. These discoveries provide further evidence of Mars' past water abundance and the potential for past life on the planet.
