In May 2022, Nasa's InSight spacecraft recorded a strong Mars quake in which seismic waves circled the Martian surface up to three times. Based on the surface waves, researchers from ETH Zurich were ...

NASA scientists have found evidence that Mars’ crust is not as dense as previously thought, a clue that could help researchers better understand the Red Planet’s interior structure and evolution. A ...

Thanks to some new methods of studying the structure of planetary density, we now know that the crust of our closest neighbor, Mars, is much thinner than scientists previously thought. A paper ...

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 ...

In May 2022, the Marsquake Service at ETH Zurich recorded the largest quake ever observed on another planet. This event, with an estimated magnitude of 4.6 was recorded on the surface of Mars by the ...

NASA scientists are one step closer to understanding the evolution of Mars. New evidence shows that the Red Planet's outer crust, which is about 30 miles (50 kilometers) thick, is porous and not as ...
