NASA’s InSight lander has been listening to the orchestral soundscape of the Red Planet for several hundred days now, attempting to ascertain what kind of geological music it prefers. It appears that the rust-hued marvel next door is quite fond of its own brand of jazz.
The InSight team are keeping fairly schtum about the potential sources of these quakes and what they may reveal about the internal structure of Mars as they continue to gather data. But they have, rather intriguingly, hinted that the upper crust of Mars is a little bit of a halfway house between Earth and the moon.
Mars being somewhere in-between would make intuitive sense. It has lost plenty of internal heat, but nowhere near as much as Earth’s diminutive moon, so Mars is not a planetary corpse just yet. It has likely got plenty of, as well as all kinds of as-of-yet unrevealed geological nooks and crannies that would influence the transmission of seismic waves through the surface in a currently unpredictable way.
