Mars's Hidden Magma Seas Could Have Built a Habitable Past

NASA's InSight seismic data reveal a deep crustal boundary on Mars formed by vast magma pools, suggesting the crust differentiated into mafic and ultramafic layers and implying interconnected, long-lived magmatic systems beneath the planet. This transcrustal magmatism could have reprocessed mantle material, releasing greenhouse gases and thickening the early atmosphere to sustain warmer conditions, potentially making Mars habitable in its past, while also hinting at near-surface mineral wealth.

Mars’s Hidden Water and Atmosphere Found Deep Beneath the Surface

Mars’s Hidden Water and Atmosphere Found Deep Beneath the Surface

Seismic data from NASA’s InSight reveal a large underground reservoir of liquid water deep beneath Mars, while MIT researchers link the missing atmosphere to methane trapped in smectite clay formed by water-rock interactions—potentially storing around 1.7 bar of CO2, about 80% of Mars’s lost atmospheric inventory. If confirmed, both water and atmospheric gas could still lie beneath the crust, offering targets for future exploration and resource use, though extraction would be challenging.

Hidden Mantle Plume Could Be Nudging Mars to Spin Faster

Hidden Mantle Plume Could Be Nudging Mars to Spin Faster

NASA’s InSight data, compared with Viking measurements, indicate Mars’s day is shortening slightly over time; Delft University researchers propose a buried, buoyant mantle plume—an equatorial negative mass anomaly—that could push lighter material upward while denser material moves downward, speeding Mars’ rotation and potentially triggering volcanism, a finding that points to a more active interior and strengthens the case for a dedicated gravity mission to study Mars’ interior.

Deep Interior Plume Nudges Mars to Spin Up

Deep Interior Plume Nudges Mars to Spin Up

A study using NASA’s InSight data and Viking observations finds Mars’ day length is shortening very slightly, resulting in a rotation speed-up of about 70 microseconds per year. Researchers propose a deep underground negative mass anomaly beneath the Tharsis region is rising, creating melt pockets and moving heavier material toward the rotation axis, which would speed up the planet’s spin and suggests a more active interior with more internal heat than previously thought.

Honda Reimagines the Insight as a 311-Mile Electric Crossover

Honda has transformed the Insight into a purely electric crossover with more than 311 miles of WLTC range, a 229 lb-ft front-mounted motor, and a Sport mode. The design borrows cues from Honda’s Chinese e:NS2 and rides on a 68.8 kWh pack that yields about 339 miles in CLTC, with a tech-forward interior that includes a 12.8-inch touchscreen, Bose audio, head-up display, and Chinese-market touches like a perfume dispenser and fewer climate controls. Production location isn’t disclosed, and the model will go on sale in Japan this spring with reservations starting March 19, amid expectations it could be exported from China to other markets.

ADHD symptoms linked to bursts of creative insight in problem-solving

ADHD symptoms linked to bursts of creative insight in problem-solving

A 299-participant study found that individuals with higher ADHD symptoms solved problems more often through sudden insight than through deliberate analysis, while those with the lowest symptoms balanced insight and analysis. The results showed a U-shaped curve where high- and low-symptom groups performed best overall, suggesting that executive control levels influence creative problem-solving via different mental routes and highlighting potential strengths of neurodiversity in such tasks.

"NASA's Mars Orbiter Discovers Retired Robotic Spacecraft on Red Planet's Surface"

NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spotted the "dead" InSight lander on the surface of Mars, which ceased to function in 2022 after operating for four years. InSight was sent to study the planet's interior, depositing a seismometer to record marsquakes and a thermometer to measure temperature. Despite running out of power due to dust accumulation on its solar panels, InSight continues to provide valuable data for studying Mars' surface disturbances.

Scientists Uncover Cause of Mars' Most Powerful Quake through International Collaboration

Scientists Uncover Cause of Mars' Most Powerful Quake through International Collaboration

An international team of scientists, including researchers from the European Space Agency, the Chinese National Space Agency, the Indian Space Research Organisation, and the United Arab Emirates Space Agency, have determined that the largest Marsquake observed by NASA's InSight lander was caused by a release of stress within Mars' crust, ruling out a meteor impact. By analyzing data from multiple spacecraft in orbit around Mars, the team found no evidence of an impact crater and concluded that the quake was a tectonic event. This discovery provides valuable insights into the geological activity of Mars and may help in future missions and potential human habitation on the planet.

Mars' Mysterious Accelerated Rotation: Insights from NASA's InSight

Scientists analyzing data from NASA's InSight Mars lander have discovered that Mars is rotating faster, with its rotational speed increasing by approximately four milliarcseconds per year squared. The measurements, made using InSight's Rotation and Interior Structure Experiment (RISE) instrument, also revealed the planet's wobbling motion caused by its molten metal core. The data allowed scientists to estimate the size of Mars' core and revealed regions of slightly higher or lower density buried deep within the mantle. The findings provide valuable insights into Mars' rotation, core, and other planetary characteristics, contributing to groundbreaking discoveries in planetary science.

NASA Discovers Mars' Rapidly Increasing Rotation Speed

NASA's InSight lander has collected data indicating that Mars is rotating more quickly than before, shortening the length of a Martian day by a fraction of a millisecond per year. The increased acceleration, about 4 milliarcseconds per year², is still being investigated, but it may be due to ice accumulation at the Martian poles or the rise of landmasses after being covered in ice. The findings, based on InSight data, suggest that Mars has a molten metal core with a radius of about 1,140 miles. Although the mission has ended, the data collected by InSight has significantly contributed to our understanding of the red planet.
