The Interior of Mars Is Finally Revealed!

While the exploration of the Martian surface has already revealed some breathtaking discoveries, the exact composition of the planet’s interior has long been an unsolved mystery.

Thanks to cutting-edge technology, NASA recently succeeded in getting a big step closer to deciphering this galactic mystery. Equipped with a seismometer and a heat flow probe, the InSight lander has been investigating the deeper rock layers of the Red Planet for almost three years.

InSight is not only intended to keep an eye on the current composition of Mars, but also to investigate the earliest development processes that gave the celestial body its characteristic shape. Just what information the InSight lander has already been able to provide in this regard and what questions still need to be answered in the future, we reveal to you now!
