NASA InSight Marsquake Data Reveals 4.5 Billion-Year-Old Impact Fragments Preserved in Mars’ Mantle

Data from NASA's InSight Mars lander has revealed that the interior of Mars contains large fragments beneath its surface, remnants of massive impacts that occurred approximately 4.5 billion years ago. These findings, based on seismometer data collected during the mission, indicate that Mars' mantle preserves debris from violent collisions with large rocky bodies, or protoplanets, during the early formation of the solar system. The research highlights the lumpy and fragmented nature of the Red Planet's interior, providing new insights into its geological history and the conditions prevalent in the early solar system.
