NASA's Insight lander has revealed deep interiors of the Red Planet for the first time, confirming that the planet's centre is molten. Three papers based on the seismometer's data on stationary lander were published in the journal Science, providing details on the depth and composition of Mars' crust, mantle and core. Before NASA's InSight spacecraft touched down on Mars in …
A quake-measuring device on Mars is providing the first detailed look at the red planet’s interior, revealing a surprisingly thin crust and a hot molten core beneath the frigid surface. But more research is needed to know whether Mars has a solid inner core like Earth’s, surrounded by a molten outer core, according to the international research teams. Mark Panning …
Marsquakes, or seismic tremors on Mars, have revealed hitherto unknown aspects about the anatomy of the red planet. The findings, now published over three studies in the Science journal, were the result of a thorough analysis of the Martian surface carried out by Nasa's InSight probe which landed on the planet three years ago. Among other things, the InSight probe …
Mars has always been an intriguing subject for scientists and common people alike -- for a potential site for life beyond Earth. The InSight lander that arrived on Mars in 2018 has now provided interesting details about the depth and composition of Mars’ crust, mantle, and core, including confirmation that the planet’s centre is molten. While the centre is molten, …
