Mars Has a Secret Underground And Scientists Just Unlocked It

28 Sep 2025

Description

You won't believe what scientists just found out about Marsquakes! Turns out, a bunch of them aren’t even from underground—they’re actually caused by meteorite impacts. Using AI and data from NASA’s InSight mission, researchers linked 49 quakes to space rocks slamming into the surface. That means Mars is getting hit 2.5 times more than we thought, with new craters popping up all the time. But here’s the wild part: those impacts send shockwaves deep into the planet through something called a “seismic highway.” It’s showing us that Mars is way more unstable beneath the surface than we ever imagined.
