Itoero Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 On 26 November, NASA’s InSight mission will attempt to touch down near the Martian equator. If it arrives safely, it will embark on the first mission dedicated to listening for seismic energy rippling through the red planet. Any ‘marsquakes’ it detects could yield clues to the planet’s mysterious interior, including how it is separated into a core, mantle and crust. Whatever scientists learn about Mars’s innards could help illuminate how our own planet evolved billions of years ago. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-07482-y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
