NASA's Mars InSight (Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport) lander has developed the first ever map of the underground of the Red Planet by listening to winds.

In historic first, NASA spacecraft maps what lurks below surface of Mars CNET 5 hrs ago NASAs InSight lander has revealed the interior structure of Mars for the first time. When Galileo observed the planet Mars with a telescope over 400 years ago, it registered as little more than a blank orb, hanging in the infinite dark. In the four centuries since, scientists have attempted to fill in the blanks.  It wasnt long after Galileo that Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens came along and made a p...

By Syndicated Content By Will Dunham WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Seismic waves from quakes detected by NASA’s robotic InSight lander have helped scientists decipher the anatomy of Mars, including the first estimates of the size of its large liquid metal core, thickness of its crust, and nature of its mantle. The findings disclosed on Thursday shed light on what had been a poorly understood internal structure of Earth’s smaller neighbor and provided a few surprises as well ...

NASA/JPL-Caltech Mars lander spots deep layers beneath the surface, offering clues to the planet’s formation Dec. 15, 2020 , 3:50 PM Two years ago, NASA’s InSight spacecraft alighted on the surface of Mars, aiming to glean clues to the planet’s interior from the shaking of distant earthquakes and deep heat leaking from its soil. Mars, it turned out, had other ideas. Its st...
