NASA’s InSight Mars Lander Captured with Dust Layers by Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter
NASA’s retired InSight Mars lander has been spotted by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) in a recent image taken on October 23, 2024. The image, captured using the HiRISE camera, shows dust accumulation on InSight’s solar panels, now matching the reddish-brown Martian surface. This observation provides insights into wind patterns and dust m...

Underground Reservouir on Mars Could Fill Oceans on Planet's Surface, Study Reveals
Recent research based on data from NASA’s InSight mission has identified a substantial underground reservoir on Mars. This reservoir, located between 7 and 12 miles below the Martian surface, could hold enough water to cover the planet to a depth of 1 mile. The data, gathered by InSight’s seismometer between 2018 and 2022, suggests that water i...

NASA's InSight Mars Lander Records Vibrations of Space Rocks' Impact on Mars Surface: All Details
NASA announced on Monday that its InSight Mars lander had detected space rocks as they impacted the surface of the Red Planet. The robotic InSight lander tracked one space rock landing in 2020 and the other three in 2021, and all four were relatively modest in size, according to the US space agency. Researchers expect to find more data from the lan...
