Collaborate Disseminate
If you’re a child, there are certain things you’re taught even though they’re probably not directly relevant to your life. We teach young kids all about dinosaurs, and we teach …read more Continue reading A Simple Seismometer You Can Build Yourself
Taylor Swift fans have been linked to some well-reported seismic activity during her current worldwide ‘Eras’ concert tour. With none other than the Seismological Society of America, which has been researching earthquakes since the Great San Francisco … Continue reading Rockin’ on the Richter scale: Seismologists rank the top concert-quakes
NASA’s InSight lander was deployed to listen out for seismic activity on Mars, and last year it picked up a marsquake so big it was suspected to be from a meteoroid impact. Now, thanks to the cooperation of all agencies with orbiters around Mars, the s… Continue reading All Mars orbiters work together to trace largest marsquake on record
Cosmic radio signals are beaming to Earth every day – and astronomers are stumped as to their origin. Now a new study finds evidence that these signals, known as fast radio bursts (FRBs), could be caused by “starquakes.”Continue ReadingCategory: Space,… Continue reading “Starquakes” could be behind mysterious radio signals from space
In the vast realm of space exploration, new discoveries often emerge from old data. Thanks to advanced algorithms and keen observers, the seismic activities of our closest celestial neighbor, the …read more Continue reading Scientists Call Out Apollo 17 After Investigating Moonquakes Past
The Earth’s inner core is incredibly tricky to study, since it’s buried beneath thousands of miles of rock. New seismic studies suggest that it’s not just a solid ball of iron, as has been assumed, but might have pockets of liquid iron throughout.Conti… Continue reading Earth’s solid inner core may have pockets of liquid iron
The mission may be defunct, but NASA’s InSight Mars lander is still uncovering new things about the Red Planet. Scientists poring over data have now made the first direct observations of another planet’s core, finding that it’s not quite what we though… Continue reading NASA lander makes first direct observations of another planet’s core
Everyone is familiar with the concept of finding sunken treasure on the ocean floor. Now, scientists may have found an ancient ocean floor that is itself a type of geological buried treasure. Using seismic readings acquired in Antarctica over three yea… Continue reading An ancient ocean floor has landed next to the Earth’s core, says study
It never seems to fail: at the very moment that human society seems to reach a new pinnacle of pettiness, selfishness, violence, and self-absorption, Mother Nature comes along and reminds …read more Continue reading Ask Hackaday: Incidental Earthquake Detection
NASA’s InSight lander has detected the strongest and longest quake on Mars so far. The event was five times more powerful than any previous marsquake, unleashing as much energy as all others combined, and with the lander failing the record is unlikely … Continue reading Biggest marsquake on record marks InSight’s swansong
