Earlier, we reported that China has become the second nation ever to land a mission on Mars. Their rover, Zhurong, has landed in Utopia Planitia. Following the tradition of tourists everywhere, Zhurong has taken a selfie and photographed its Instagram-worthy surroundings. According to a post in Nature, the exact landing site hasn’t yet been imaged by HiRISE, but similar regions show remarkable dunes. With the constantly changing surface, there is the potential for Mars to reveal its past like so many fossils revealed in a changing desert.
