Data from Chinas Zhurong Mars rover reveals evidence of water activity on tiny dunes as recently as 400,000 years ago.

Chinas Zhurong rover, which landed on the Red Planet in 2021, detected evidence of this liquid water on sand dunes at low latitudes, i.e. towards the equator and away from its poles.

Hydrated dunes suggest water can persist on some parts of the Martian surface, according to data from China's troubled Zhurong rover.
