Mars is the fourth planet away from the Sun, at an average distance of 140.6 million miles or 227 billion kilometres. It is the second-smallest planet in our solar system, named after theRoman god of war. Mars is often described as the “Red Planet” due to its reddish appearance. It ...
Compared with these giant-planet systems, the smaller Hill sphere of Mars ( ) could reduce the effectiveness of disruptive capture here, given Mars’s lower mass and closer proximity to the Sun. On the other hand, Mars’s higher density allows for (non-impacting) asteroid periapses much ...
Despite its proximity to the planet Phobos is too small to completely cover the Sun, but as shown in the previous images the partial eclipse casts a noticeable shadow on the surface of the planet. A comparison of the images also shows that Phobos has its long axis aligned along its orbit,...

However, the Martian seismic data recorded by InSight have a low signal-to-noise ratio, making the identification of marsquakes challenging. Here we use the Matched Filter technique and Benford’s Law to de...
