Chinese scientists have released a new radar image from the Zhurong (red star) Mars rover, which reveals sediment that suggests there was flooding on the planet millions of years ago. Scientific Journal Nature published the image and research, which provides new insights into the surface structure of the Utopia Planitia basin, the largest recognized impact basin on Mars and in the Solar System with an estimated diameter of 3,300 kilometres. The world has not seen any new ground-based data from the Utopia impact crater on Mars for over 45 years, since the United States of America's Viking 2 rover mission of 1975.
