Seismic Data from Mars Challenges Previous Assumptions About Its Core

Mars' core is not completely solid but is instead partially molten.
Seismic data from NASA's InSight lander suggests Mars' core is larger and less dense than previously thought.
The core is believed to be composed of a mixture of iron, nickel, and lighter elements such as sulfur, oxygen, and hydrogen.
The core is surrounded by a liquid outer core, similar to Earth's.

Recent seismic data from NASA's InSight lander has provided new insights into the structure of Mars' core, challenging previous assumptions. The data, collected over a two-year period, suggests that the core of Mars is larger and less dense than previously thought. The core is believed to be composed of a mixture of iron, nickel, and lighter elements such as sulfur, oxygen, and hydrogen. This composition is different from the Earth's core, which is primarily iron and nickel. The data also suggests that Mars' core is not completely solid but is instead partially molten. This is a significant departure from previous theories, which suggested that the core was completely solid. The data also indicates that the core is surrounded by a liquid outer core, similar to Earth's. The findings have significant implications for our understanding of Mars' geological history and its potential for supporting life. The data also provides valuable insights into the processes that have shaped the planet's interior over billions of years. The findings were published in a series of papers in the journal Nature.
