Scientists identify molten layer deep within interior of Mars

The Hindu  

Seismic waves generated by a meteorite impact on the other side of Mars from where NASA's InSight lander sits have provided new clues about the Red Planet's deep interior, prompting scientists to reappraise the anatomy of Earth's planetary neighbour. The new seismic data indicates the presence of a hitherto unknown layer of molten rock surrounding a liquid metallic core - …

Scientists surprised by source of largest quake detected on Mars

The Hindu  

On May 4, 2022, NASA's InSight lander detected the largest quake yet recorded on Mars, one with a 4.7 magnitude - fairly modest by Earth standards but strong for our planetary neighbour. "This represents a significant step forward in our understanding of Martian seismic activity and takes us one step closer to better unraveling the planet's tectonic processes," added Imperial …

NASA's InSight lander reveals details on outermost layer of Mars

Hindustan Times  

NASA's robotic InSight lander, in the twilight of its service after nearly four years on Mars, is revealing new details about Earth's closest planetary neighbor based on data from two big meteorite impacts that shed light on the Martian crust's structure. Researchers said on Thursday the stationary lander for the first time detected seismic waves traveling along the Martian surface, …

Mars: Largest quakes ever recorded could reveal more about the Red Planet’s interior

The Independent  

Nasa has reported the two largest quakes ever recorded on Mars, and scientists say studying them “will be instrumental in furthering our understanding” of the planet. A seismometer put on the Red Planet by the space agency’s InSight lander recorded the two largest so-called marsquakes ever, of magnitude 4.2 and 4.1. Scientists said the two quakes are “true outliers” in …

Perseverance rover successfully extracts samples from Martian rock

India Today  

The Perseverance rover has successfully cored a Mars rock sample, according to the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Although previous attempts at sampling Martian rocks have failed to harvest as a result of the sample breaking, officials are confident that the rover has captured sediment fragments this time. The rover collects samples with a rotary-percussive drill that runs a …

Firstpost  

The fate of almost everything on Earth’s surface is determined by infernal engines deep below. Now, thanks to an intrepid robot parked on the Martian surface by NASA in November 2018, scientists have a map of our neighbouring world’s geologic abysses, the first-ever made of another planet. Mars’ mantle also clues us in to why a planet that once built …

Mars' core, measured on seismic waves, found to be 'surprisingly' large and thin

Hindustan Times  

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 …
