Analysis of Martian seismic data recorded by the InSight mission revealed that the liquid iron core of Mars is surrounded by a layer of molten silicate 150 km thick, resulting in a smaller and denser core than previously suggested. (Graphic: Thibaut Roger, NCCR Planet S / ETH Zurich)

The first seismological measurements of the Insight were made near the landing of the spacecraft in September 2021. Among the seismic records were also two tremors on the other side of Mars that originated from a meteorite impact

It turned out that the lid of the tank was stuck with a lump of soil and did not close. The decision made was to reduce as much as possible various operations and store the material as quickly as possible. In addition, two were separated from the spaceship

The Juno spacecraft has a new program - the Galilean moons

For the past five years it has been circling Tzedek and transmitting to Israel a huge amount of photographs and information related to Tzedek. Since she has a large stock of fuel left, there are those who are thinking of extending her stay around
