Listening to Mars [1]

The InSight lander deployed this seismometer to listen for marsquakes. It may have heard one on April 6. The seismometer consists of three sensors that are touching the Martian surface, protected from wind and extreme temperatures by a dome. Scientists will analyze its readings to learn more about the Martian interior. [NASA/JPL]
