Some of the volcanoes of Mars could be active, meaning life may have survived beneath the Red Planet's surface fairly recently.

Mars is not as quiet as we thought.

Two Strong Quakes Have Been Detected on Mars SCOTT ALAN JOHNSTON, UNIVERSE TODAY 6 APRIL 2021 NASAs InSight lander felt the distant rumble of two major marsquakes in March, originating from a region near the Martian equator known as the Cerberus Fossae. Registering magnitudes of 3.1 and 3.3 on March 7 and March 18 respectively, the quakes cement the Cerberus Fossaes reputation as one of the most geologically active places on the Red Planet today.   A pair of similarly strong marsquakes rock...

Mysterious Earth-Like’ Rumblings Inside Mars Detected by NASA Lander Trigger Flurry of Theories © NASA https://sputniknews.com/science/202104061082552775-mysterious-earth-like-rumblings-inside-mars-detected-by-nasa-lander-trigger-flurry-of-theories/ The $850 million robotic geophysicist InSight lander touched down on Mars in November 2018 on a mission designed to help scientists better understand the interior of the Red Planet, as its seismometer w...

Science Mars isnt dead. NASA announced on Thursday that its InSight lander, which probes for geological activity on Mars, recently recorded "two strong, clear quakes" in the same region where the lander previously observed two sizeable quakes in 2019. This points to a seismically active area on Mars — a place that looks bone-dry and devoid of life on its surface, but might be active below ground. "The magnitude 3.3 and 3.1 temblors originated in a region called Cerberus Fossae, further suppor...

ExtremeTech NASA’s InSight Lander Detects Major Marsquakes By Ryan Whitwam on April 5, 2021 at 7:14 am This site may earn affiliate commissions from the links on this page. Terms of use. Mars is shaking, and we’d never know were it not for the trailblazing InSight lander. This mission touched down on the red planet in 2018, making history by deploying the first and only seismometer on another planet. NASA has been listening for rumbles ever since, and it just heard some bi...

Mysterious Marsquakes detected by Nasas Insight lander in area of Red Planet where volcanic activity and landslides have been spotted Mystery rumblings from Mars picked up by Nasas Insight - an unmanned lander which arrived on the planet in November 2018   The quakes occurred almost exactly one Martian year - or two Earth years - after two previous quakes were detected in the same area The Cerberus Fossae region is thought to be a center of volcanic activity, and in 2019 a landslide was dete...

Mysterious rumblings known as 'Marsquakes' have been detected by Nasa's InSight lander, offering further clues about volcanic activity beneath the surface of the Red Planet. The tremors originated in a region called Cerberus Fossae - an area...

NASAs Lander Spots Two 3-Magnitude Marsquakes in Potentially Seismic Region of Red Planet © Photo : NASA/JPL-Caltech Subscribe Sputnik International https://sputniknews.com/science/202104031082531672-nasas-lander-spots-two-3-magnitude-marsquakes-in-potentially-seismic-region-of-red-planet/ The seismologists indicate that unlike quakes on Earth or the moon, the "marsquakes" neither travel directly from the source through the planet, nor scatter, but r...

April 01, 2021 NASA’s InSight lander used the scoop on its robotic arm to begin trickling soil over the cable connecting its seismometer to the spacecraft on March 14, 2021, the 816th Martian day, or sol of the mission. Scientists hope this make it easier to detect marsquakes by helping to insulate the cable from the wind and from the extreme temperature shifts that cause the cable to expand and contract. JPL manages InSight for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate. InSight is part of NASA’...
