A Chinese rover has found new evidence to support the theory that Mars was once home to a vast ocean, including tracing some ancient coastline where water may once have lapped, a study said Thursday.
The theory that an ocean covered as much as a third of the Red Planet billions of years ago has been a matter of debate between scientists for decades, and one outside researcher expressed some

Demand is rising sharply within the space sector for MSP's advanced CNC manufacturing technology, which ensures precise, error-free production of parts for rockets, satellites, and launch equipment. As the space industry projects a worth of $1.8 trillion by 2035, manufacturers are under pressure to keep pace with complex requirements, supply chain challenges, and stringent quality standards.

NASA-backed researchers have devised a novel approach to calculating how tidal forces influence the internal structures of planets and moons. Crucially, this research departs from the typical assumption of a perfectly spherical interior, instead examining how irregularly shaped bodies react to tidal stress.
These internal distortions, known as body tides, result from gravitational interact

At a crop breeding center in Shanghai, researchers have successfully harvested rice that was cultivated from seeds initially grown on China's space station Tiangong, also known as "Heavenly Palace." The rice plants have completed a full growth cycle on Earth, maturing after more than 100 days since planting.
This space-to-ground experiment began with six rice seeds sent into orbit in 2022
