How Marsquakes Have Helped Researchers Investigate the Depths of the Red Planet's Interior: Two recent studies used seismic data from NASA's retired InSight mission to shed light on what lies beneath Mars’ surface and what… @SmithsonianMag #Marsquakes #NASA #InSightMission #Mars #PlanetaryScience
Marsquakes reveal a lumpy, viscous mantle and a large, solid inner core, with profound implications for Mars past, present, and future.

A dust-covered selfie of the InSight lander on Mars. The image shows the lander's solar panels heavily coated in Martian dust, reducing its power generation. This dust accumulation signals the likely end of InSight's operational lifespan after over 1400 sols of groundbreaking research including detecting over 1300 marsquakes.

A close-up ground-level view of the InSight lander's SEIS seismometer on Mars. The dome-shaped instrument is resting on the Martian surface, with a cable leading back to the lander. Light dust covers the ground, and faint clouds are visible on the horizon. The image shows a quiet moment in the ongoing mission to study the interior of Mars.

Scientists have identified a "new" cluster of marsquakes in Terra Cimmeria, Southern Highlands, suggesting active geological processes. This challenges our previous beliefs that significant seismic activity was confined to the Northern Lowlands. The debate continues! #MarsQuakes

Did you catch our story this week on #marsquakes and #meteor strikes? 🔭 If you prefer to watch your news, EarthSky's Will Triggs has got you covered. Get the latest on #Mars in this new short video: www.youtube.com/watch
A study led by #unibern shows that impacts on #Mars send seismic shockwaves farther and deeper than previously thought & many of the #marsquakes recorded by the #NASAInSight lander are caused by meteoroid impacts: sohub.io/wpzp.

A planet surface stretched onto a flat rectangle in bright colors. Towards the bottom is more red and yellow and busy with pockmark craters, and the top half is mostly blue and unblemished.
Did you know? The southern highlands of #Mars rise up to 6 kilometers higher than the northern lowlands. Did it result from external factors or internal ones? #Marsquakes may give an answer. 🔴🔭

Mars is shaking. In its first ten months, @NASAInSight has measured 174 quakes. In terms of the quakes’ frequency and strength, the Red Planet lags far behind Earth. None of the quakes exceeded a magnitude 4. Read more here: https://tinyurl.com/wffbnth #Mars #SEIS #marsquakes
How to study #marsquakes using #opendata and #freesoftware. I tried to reproduce the first seismogram on Fig. 4 from Banerdt et al. (2020), published yesterday on @NatureGeosci .
Amazing demonstration from @neilebowles of @TomPike00075908’s technology @NASAInSight will use to listen for #Marsquakes: detection in @OxfordAOPP @OxfordPhysics basement of tiny seismic vibrations generated by bells ringing in @MertonCollege @ChchOx @NewCollegeOx @StGilesOxford
