Buried palaeo-polygonal terrain detected underneath Utopia Planitia on Mars by the Zhurong radar
Nature Astronomy, Published online: 23 November 2023; doi:10.1038/s41550-023-02117-3
The Zhurong rover identified polygonal terrain at a depth of 35 m under Utopia Planitia on Mars. This finding suggests that the mid-latitudinal region experienced a cold and wet environment near the freezing point of water around the Hesperian–Amazonian transition, possibly induced by Mars’s high obliquity.
