Image: Complex The tremors were detected by the space agency’s InSight lander, which touched down on our planetary neighbour back in November 2018. Insight’s purpose is to learn more about Mars’ interior in order to give scientists a better idea of how the planet was shaped. If scientists are able to acquire knowledge on that subject then they’ll better understand why rocky planets form, and subsequently may be able to learn which of those planets have a greater chance of supporting li...

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...

Ground vibrations caused by traffic and industrial work halved globally during the coronavirus lockdown, a study shows. Social distancing, fewer cars on roads and drops in tourism and travel resulted in the longest and most pronounced quiet period of seismic noise in recorded history.  Seismic noise refers to vibrations in the ground, caused by traffic or heavy machinery and natural phenomena such as earthquakes and adverse weather.  Global human-caused (anthropogenic) seismic noise dropped ...

“The weeks during lockdown were the quietest period we have on record."

Planet Earth witnessed its quietest period in decades during 2020 as lockdowns significantly reduced human activity and its impact on the planet's crust, according to scientists working on a global study.  An international group of seismologists from 33 countries measured a drop of up to 50 per cent in so-called ambient noise generated by humans travelling and factories humming after lockdowns came into force around the world.

The Covid-19 pandemic has significantly reduced human activity and its impact on the planet's crust.. Read more at straitstimes.com.
