A massive marsquake measured by NASA's InSight lander suggests the Red Planet crust is "like heavy armor" in some locations, a new study suggests. The seismometer of the NASA InSight lander, whose ...

Mars was a fully formed planet — crust and all — within just 20 million years of the solar system’s birth. That rapid formation means the Red Planet probably got a 100-million-year jump on Earth in ...

Quakes on Mars have unveiled its interior to an unprecedented degree, revealing surprising details about the Red Planet's crust, mantle and core. Measurements taken by NASA's InSight (Interior ...

NASA’s Mars InSight has provided … well, insight, into the inner workings of the Red Planet. By monitoring “marsquakes” over the past two years the instrument has allowed scientists to measure the ...

NASA has been exploring Mars since the 1960’s, but it wasn’t until today’s modern technology and advanced computers that they’ve been able to answer so many unanswered questions about the red planet.

A dwarf planet thought to have some ice mixed in with its dirty surface may have a lot more cool than we ever expected. "We think that there's lots of water-ice near Ceres's surface, and that it gets ...

We've learned a lot about our planet's interior simply by tracking how the seismic energy released by earthquakes moves through or reflects off the different layers present beneath Earth's surface.

Tiny density changes in the crust of Ceres indicate that the dwarf planet's pole has wandered over time. The path it took suggests a liquid ocean once sat beneath the ...
