Early morning frost has been detected on the peaks of massive volcanoes on Mars, an unexpected discovery about the dispersal of water on Mars that could one day prove essential for human exploration, scientists said on Monday...

A new study suggests that water may have existed on Mars much more recently than past evidence has shown. The research is based on data collected by China’s Zhurong explorer.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Water may be more widespread and recent on Mars than previously thought, based on observations of Martian sand dunes by China's rover.

The rover's radar detected what appears to be a subsurface layer of water ice beneath a layer of Martian soil. The discovery is significant as it suggests that water may exist in a liquid state on Mars.

Whats notable about the study is how young the dunes are

Zhurong rover went into hibernation a year ago for winter on Mars and has yet to come out, scientists say

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida - Water may be more widespread and recent on Mars than previously thought, based on observations of Martian sand dunes by China

The rover spotted cracks and crusts in the Martian salt-rich dunes. Small pockets of water from thawing frost or snow, mixed with salt, likely resulted in the cracked surface

Water may be more widespread and recent on Mars than previously thought, based on observations of Martian sand dunes by China's rover. The finding highlights new, potentially fertile areas in the warmer regions of Mars where conditions might be suitable for life to exist, though more study is needed. Friday's news came days after mission…
