Self care is going into a corn field at night to get abducted by aliens
Congratulations fellow Earthlings!
We have successfully put NASA’s InSight lander on the surface of Mars, where it will be critical in helping us understand what’s going on beneath the surface of the Red Planet. 🙌🏾
The lander will use its sensitive instrumentation to learn more about “marsquakes” that shake the planet every now and then.
Unlike quakes on Earth, marsquakes aren’t the result of tectonic activity. Instead, scientists think these shakes are created as Martian rock slowly cools.
InSight will effectively be able to map the Martian interior as these quakes hit.
The lander is also expected to piece together the history of Mars formed by studying its interior, information that could help us understand the formation of planets outside of our solar system in the future.
NASA scientists predict that they will begin receiving the most pertinent data from InSight around March 2019, and can then begin updating what we know about the goings on beneath Mars’ surface… including whether (as the current hypothesis suggests) there is actually water hidden beneath the planet’s crust.
