There wasn’t burn mark on the bottom of the recovery capsule ?

[@SciNewsRo]

The heat shield is ejected so that the retrorockets can fire. It’s visible here czcams.com/video/CnvjlAD2GdI/video.html

1:25 firstly I thought it was smoke flare, someone said it was fuel. What is the fuel purpose anyway?

[@SciNewsRo]

Venting excess fuel.

那些燃料是神舟十七号离开空间站到重返大气层的期间用作调整位置方向的

[@questtech2698]

@@Panda-JinHu thanks for your reply. I didn't expect return capsule 返回舱 to contain fuel, just only on the orbital module 轨道舱 and service module 推进舱

Well... It has to move around, they show an animation of it so you can see. "Attitude Control", lots of little thrusters, plus it must have an engine, right? The capsule needs to de-orbit, that takes energy. And tremendous control, so the capsule comes down so amazingly right next to the ground crew. When I was a kid they seemed to be hoping for the right hemisphere, or maybe just the right time zone.
