Recordings of the interior of Mars have just delivered the most precise measurement of the red planet's spin yet, and the results are a confusing surprise.

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

The study analysed data from the first 900 Martian days of InSight's mission to identify fluctuations in the planet's rotation.

Data from the Mars InSight lander has also revealed how much the planet wobbles as a result of its liquid core sloshing about.

Mars is spinning faster and gradually shortening each day slightly, scientists have found — and it has left them puzzled as to why.

 WASHINGTON — NASA has succeeded in re-establishing full contact with Voyager 2 by using its highest-power transmitter to send an “interstellar shout” that righted the distant probe’s antenna orientation, the space agency said on Friday.Launched in 1977 to explore the outer planets and serve as a beacon of humanity to the wider universe, it is currently more than 19.9 billion
