For the first time since landing on Mars in November, NASA's InSight mission has recorded and measured what scientists believe to be a 'marsquake'
For the first time since landing on Mars in November, NASA's InSight mission has recorded and measured what scientists believe to be a"marsquake."
Martian winds have been recorded on the surface and can be heard on the recording released by the agency. But then, a deeper sound emerges, recorded by the lander's seismometer that was installed on the Red Planet's surface in December. It's a seismic signal that was recorded April 6, and by all indications, the InSight team believes this sound is a quake from within the planet rather than something on the surface. The InSight Twitter account shared the recording Tuesday.
— NASA InSight April 23, 2019 The data will continue to be studied so that scientists can be sure of the signal's origin. Read MoreNASA just heard the first sounds of wind on Mars. You can hear them, too. Smaller seismic signals were detected on Mars in March and April, but researchers aren't sure about their origin, and they are being studied.Luckily, the Martian surface is quiet, and the seismometer was designed to pick up on smaller rumbles just like this one.
