NASA first detected the

Five months after landing in Mars, NASA's InSight spacecraft recorded the signal of the "earthquake" phenomenon, opening up new areas of research to the scientific community.

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) of the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) said on April 23 that the InSight probe detected and measured some of the alleged "earthquakes " on the star. Fire. If so, this would be the first time in the history of a seismic recorded on the "red planet".

The breakthrough was a result of five months of InSight ships landing on Mars, starting a two-year mission to study the planet, according to Reuters.

JPL scientists describe a mild earthquake-like sound, recorded on April 6, the 128th day of the InSight ship on Mars.

The team is still examining the data to determine the exact cause of these signals. Initial research shows signs of originating from within the planet, not because of surface effects like the wind, according to JPL's announcement.

"So far, we are still recording sounds from the surface, and this first event officially opened up a new field of research: Mars seismology," Bruce Banerdt, lead researcher of InSight ship, said.

However, the vibration intensity is so weak that if it occurs in Southern California, USA, it will be just one of dozens of small seismic vibrations that occur every day, according to JPL.

The earthquake recorded on April 6 is a special case because Mars is an extremely static planet compared to Earth.

Lori Glaze, director of planetary science at NASA headquarters in Washington, USA, said the magnitude and duration of the earthquake is similar to reports of thousands of Apollo earthquakes. NASA discovered the surface of the Moon from 1969 to 1977.

Earlier, InSight also recorded three very weak seismic forces with a smaller intensity on March 14, April 10 and April 11, making it impossible for scientists to determine if this was an earthquake. .
