☆ Scientists identify molten layer deep within interior of Mars
  + stars: | 2023-10-25 | by ( Will Dunham | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
"The importance of the far side impact was to produce seismic waves that traversed the deep interior of the planet, including the core. Previously, we had not observed any seismic waves that had transited the core. Unlike Mars, Earth has no molten layer around its core. One of the two studies published on Wednesday indicates this layer is fully molten, with the other indicating that most of it is fully molten, with the top portion partially molten. "We have learned a lot about Mars by studying the unique seismic record provided by the InSight mission," Samuel said.

☆ Scientists surprised by source of largest quake detected on Mars
  + stars: | 2023-10-18 | by ( Will Dunham | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
"We concluded that the largest marsquake seen by InSight was tectonic, not an impact. "Most of the marsquakes we've detected thus far have been associated with a region called Cerberus Fossae, located eastward of InSight. The energy it released surpassed the cumulative energy from all the other marsquakes InSight recorded. With future human missions to Mars in mind, a greater understanding of Martian seismic activity is pertinent. Charalambous said the location of the majority of the marsquakes detected by InSight remained uncertain, with a poor understanding of the mechanisms that triggered them.

☆ Mars is spinning faster and its days are getting shorter — and scientists aren't sure why
  + stars: | 2023-08-09 | by ( Marianne Guenot | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Measurements from NASAs' InSight Mars Lander have uncovered a new Martian mystery. The red planet seems to be spinning faster, making its days a little shorter every year. The discovery, made using measurements from NASA's Insight lander, has left scientists baffled. While researchers aren't exactly sure what could be causing this landmass shift, a leading theory suggests it could be down to Martian ice. NASA/JPL-CaltechThe latest findings about Mars are the result of years of data gathered from NASA's Insight Lander over 900 Martian days.

☆ NASA imagery reveals China's Mars rover hasn't moved in months as Chinese scientists scramble to save the mission

NASA imagery from Mars shows that China's rover hasn't moved in months. Chinese scientists are scrambling to make contact, according to the South China Morning Post. China's rover, Zhurong, could be covered in dust and drained of energy, like NASA's InSight lander. Arrows highlight the location of China's Zhurong rover in March 2022, September 2022, and February 2023.

☆ Why we love to anthropomorphize space-faring robots

We know Mars rovers are robots, but they feel like friends, or pets. "It's the way the rovers are designed," Abigail Freeman, the deputy project scientist of the Curiosity rover, told Insider.

On February 12, 2019, mission controllers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, sent the last commands to ask NASA’s Opportunity rover on Mars to call home.
☆ NASA hasn't heard from its InSight lander in 5 days. It may have run out of power and died on Mars.

NASA's InSight lander on Mars isn't responding to communications from Earth, likely due to low power levels. The solar arrays on NASA's InSight lander are deployed for a test at Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver, on April 30, 2015. An illustration of the InSight Mars lander.

☆ Mars may have molten lava, scientists discover from quakes detected by NASA's Insight lander
  + stars: | 2022-10-27 | by ( Morgan Mcfall-Johnsen | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
NASA's InSight lander has detected Mars quakes that mostly come from one region: Cerberus Fossae. But now, using a seismometer on NASA's InSight lander, scientists have discovered the first evidence of molten lava deep below the Martian surface. A series of Mars quakes clued the scientists in to the potential lava hotspot. The biggest Mars quakes point to an underground chamber of magmaInSight has detected more than 1,300 Mars quakes since landing on the red planet in 2018. To get the global picture of Mars quakes and volcanic activity, NASA would need to send more seismometers to the red planet.
☆ NASA images show a meteor crashed into Mars, triggered a big quake, and kicked up surprise water ice

NASA's InSight lander felt a powerful Mars quake. Then an orbiter took a picture of the meteor impact that caused it. The impact kicked up boulders of water ice, which will be crucial for future astronaut missions to Mars. "It was immediately clear that this is the biggest new crater we've ever seen," Ingrid Daubar, InSight impact science lead, said in a press briefing.

NASA shared the sound of a meteor falling to Mars, with photos of the impact craters, on Monday. The dwindling InSight lander has captured the acoustic and seismic noise of four meteor impacts.
