New Delhi, Dec 20 (Ians) NASA’s Mars InSight lander on Tuesday posted its last image on Twitter as it prepares to fall silent anytime, ending its history-making mission to reveal secrets of the Red Planet’s interior.The spacecraft’s power generation continues to decline as windblown dus...
[NASA's InSight Mars Lander: Full Coverage] "I was thinking what else could we put on there that could be a kind of code that people in the know could look at and figure out?" said Bruce Banerdt, InSight's principal investigator at JPL, in an interview with collectSPACE.com. "I ...
NASA’s InSight Mars lander uses a seismometer to study the inner layers of Mars. Seismic signals from quakes change as they pass through different kinds of materials; seismologists can “read” the squiggles of a seismogram to study the properties of the planet’s crust, mantle, and...
NASA's InSight lander finally detected "The Big One" on Mars. Since it touched down on Mars in November 2018, the InSight lander has catalogued over 1,300 marsquakes — tremors through the planet's surface caused by either meteorite impacts or due to the cooling o...
Going out with a bang, NASA's InSight Mars lander, slowly dying as light-blocking dust builds up on its solar arrays, detected the most powerful marsquake yet recorded May 4, a magnitude 5 temblor 10 times stronger than the previous record holder.Now operating with one-tenth the power...
