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 NASA's 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 Fossae's reputation as one of the most geologically active places on the Red Planet today.   A pair of similarly strong marsquakes rocked the same region back in 2019. The Cerberus Fossae region is scarred by a series of massive, n...

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 was to feel for seismic waves, or 'marsquakes'. NASA’s Insight lander on Mars has detected intrigu...

Science Mars isn't 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 supporting the idea that this location is seismically active," wrote NASA. The new quakes happened on Mar...
