Researchers have just discovered evidence that Mars was once a home for oceans and sandy beaches on the Red Planet, according to data published This field is far from the arid, frozen and radiation conditions of modern Mars.
Scientists discovered evidence of buried beaches after they analyzed data on visualization underground from the Chinese Zhurong Rover. These data from the northern lowland of Mars are extremely similar to what researchers find when using a similar radar penetrating the Earth here on Earth, They found underground material, which is inclined and tilted to the lowland, which, probably at some moment, was the ocean.
#Vantageonfirstpost: A new study shows that Mars once had an ocean with sandy beaches, with evidence of buried coastal lines discovered deep underground. This study indicates a past life on a red planet about four billion years ago.

“As a rule, the radar talks about even subtle changes in the size of the deposits, which is probably what is happening here,” said Dr. Benjamin Cardens, co-author of the University of Pennsylvania. “This tells you that there should have been a tide, there should have been waves, there should have been nearby river sediment, and all these things should have been active for some long period of time.”
Scientists have long been discussing whether Mars had the oceans, and this discovery, of course, implies that the planet was once a house for huge reservoirs. Previous discoveries indicated that he used to have And The field is also evidence of liquid water Currently.
“The beach is an interface between small water, air and earth. This is a medium where, in the opinion, life has been on Earth for the first time, and I think that it would be a great place to send the subsequent mission in search of signs of a past life,” – Said Cardens.
