Seismic Data from NASA’s InSight Might Solve the Mystery of Mars’ Dichotomy
NASA’s InSight mission has provided seismic data shedding light on the Martian dichotomy, the split between Mars’ northern lowlands and southern highlands. Findings from the mantle’s seismic wave analysis suggest the split stems from ancient tectonic activity and magma dynamics, rather than asteroid impacts. Variations in crust thickness and ...

Earth's Crust is ‘Dripping’ Beneath Turkey’s Konya Basin, Revealing Unique Geological Phenomenon
Researchers have uncovered a remarkable geological phenomenon beneath Türkiye’s Central Anatolian Plateau, where dense materials from Earth’s crust are detaching and sinking into the mantle below. This process, known as multi-stage lithospheric dripping, has been shaping the Konya Basin’s surface and provides crucial insights into Earth’s ...

Mars Gravity Maps Shows Strange Hidden Structures Underneath the Surface
Scientists have unveiled a new gravity map of Mars, revealing hidden structures beneath the surface and active processes affecting Olympus Mons. The map, presented at the Europlanet Science Congress 2024, challenges traditional geological models and shows dense structures under Mars' northern polar plains. Researchers suggest that a mantle plume mi...

NASA's InSight Lander Captures Stunning View of Sunrise on Mars
NASA's InSight Mars lander captured a stunning view of a sunrise on the Red Planet, giving space enthusiasts an idea of what watching the run rise on Mars could look like. InSight is NASA's first mission to study the interior of Mars — its crust, mantle, and core — in depth and has completed its mission of spending one Martian year on the plane...
