Tianwen-1: Zhurong Rover Finds Evidence of Water at Low Latitudes on Modern Mars

The Zhurong rover has found evidence of water on dune surfaces on modern Mars by providing key observational proof of liquid water at low Martian latitudes, according to a study led by Prof. QIN Xiaoguang from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics.

Astronomers Image for the First Time a Black Hole Expelling a Powerful Jet

Scientists from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory has used new millimetre-wavelength observations to produce an image that shows, for the first time, both the ring-like structure that reveals the matter falling into the central black hole and the powerful relativistic jet in the prominent radio galaxy Messier 87.

Middle Ordovician "Marine Dwarf World" Found from Castle Bank, Wales (UK)

An unusually well-preserved "Marine Dwarf World" from 462 million years ago was found at Castle Bank, Wales by a team led by the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology. The site comprises over 150 species, with many of miniaturized body size.

19-Hour Days for a Billion Years of Earth's History: Study

Day length was shorter because the Moon was closer. "Over time, the Moon has stolen Earth's rotational energy to boost it into a higher orbit farther from Earth," said Ross Mitchell, geophysicist at the Institute of Geology and Geophysics.

Researchers Discover Chemical Evidence for Pair-instability Supernova from A Very Massive First Star

A new study has identified a chemically peculiar star (LAMOST J1010+2358) in the Galactic halo as clear evidence of the existence of PISNe from very massive first stars in the early Universe, based on LAMOST survey and Subaru telescope.

Hidden Ice Melt in Himalaya: Revealing 'Invisible' Glacier Loss Underwater

A new study reveals that the mass loss of lake-terminating glaciers in the greater Himalaya has been significantly underestimated, due to the inability of satellites to see glacier changes occurring underwater, with critical implications for the region's future projections of glacier disappearance and water resources.
