The studies compared data collected by the lander with impact craters spotted by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The shield covered InSight’s seismometer, which captured data from more than 1,300 marsquakes However, this marks the first time a fresh impact has been correlated with shaking detected in the quake-prone region of Cerberus Fossae: a group of fissures located in the Elysium Planitia plain just north of the equator.
