NASA has recently revealed that the internal composition of Mars looks like a three-layer cake. The Red Planet lander of the space agency has found that the planet has a formation like a three-layer cake under its crust. The probe has revealed that the Red Planet consists of different types of rocks heaped on top of each other just like a cosmic cake. This data from the Mars lander will help astronomers, geologists, and aerospace engineers to understand the history of murky origins and evolution of the Red Planet. The InSight Mars lander of the agency has sent the very first geological analysis of the Red Planet to scientists. The lander has faced difficulties in using its digging mole probe in the Martial soil and deployment. However, it has been able to extract details about the rocky layers under the crust of the Martian soil with the help of a domed seismometer. This domed seismometer has been provided by the French space agency Center National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES).
Scientists have been able to observe the thickness of each slice of Martian crust by capturing the nature of many storms of seismic waves. They have been able to identify the duration of waves and resistant path by these marsquakes. A short form for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, InSight has been launched in 2018. It is a Geodesy and Heart Transport Mission. It is a specific robotic lander, which aims to probe the mysteries of the formation of Mars. The main objective of this lander is to explore the deeper interior of nearby planets. It has landed in the Elysium Planitia region near the equator of the Red Planet in 2018. Since then, it continues to observe and gather data, which helps astronomers to understand the origin and structure of rocky planets of the inner solar system.
This year, InSight has been able to identify hundreds of small quakes. Most of them have not been higher than 3.7 magnitudes. It has collected the most inclusive weather data of any past surface mission, which has happened on Mars. The lead InSight scientist Bruce Banerdt from NASA has said that after probing around 480 marsquakes, they have been able to collect enough data to answer some of the unanswered questions. Preliminary data collected by InSight has shown that each of Mars’s planetary layers is around 12 to 23 miles thick. Scientists have said that it means it is thicker than the Earth’s oceanic layer. However, the planetary layer of Mars is thinner than the Earth’s continental crust. The authors of the study continue to study more data collected by InSight lander.
