Mars’s liquid iron core is smaller and denser than previously thought. Not only is it smaller, but it is also surrounded by a layer of molten rock. This is what ETH Zurich researchers conclude on the basis of seismic data from the InSight lander. One year after the NASA InSight Mission ended, t

Pasadena, CA - Scientists have made the most precise measurements ever of Mars’ rotation, for the first time detecting how the planet wobbles due to the

Data sent by the spacecraft before it retired last December has provided new details about how fast the planet rotates and how much it wobbles. Scientists have made the most precise measurements ever of Mars’ rotation, for the first time detecting how the planet wobbles due to the “sloshing” of i

Barely two weeks after touching down on Mars, NASA’s InSight lander has taken its first selfie using the spacecraft’s robotic arm, the US space agency has said.

In 2021, a pair of quakes sent seismic waves deep into the Red Planet’s core, giving scientists the best data yet on its size and composition. Using seismic data from NASA's InSight Mars lander, scientists have made the first direct observations of another planet's core, determining that Mars' li

Pasadena, CA - While NASA retired its InSight Mars lander in December, the trove of data from its seismometer will be pored over for decades to come. By

Martian dust may have smothered NASAs InSight lander to death, but the robot will always be remembered for unveiling many firsts about the Red Planet.
