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
As it slowly dies, NASA’s InSight Mars lander has made two major new discoveries recently. By sensing seismic activity from the Red Planet, the craft has now detected a large meteorite impact, and found evidence of magma pools and volcanic activity sti… Continue reading Marsquakes reveal new impact crater forming and modern magma
Predicting the likelihood and severity of earthquakes is important, but it’s hard to account for all factors at play. Researchers in New Zealand have now uncovered a previously overlooked factor that could affect the impact of the next big quake – foss… Continue reading How tiny fossils could minimize or supersize the next big earthquake
NASA’s InSight Mars lander is trading less life for more science after the space agency decided to let the spacecraft’s remaining science instrument run until the lander’s solar power system fails completely sometime in August or September.Continue Rea… Continue reading NASA reveals plan to squeeze last drop of science from failing rover
NASA’s InSight lander has recorded the two strongest quakes detected so far on Mars, with both measuring over magnitude 4. These seismic events rolled in from the far side of the Red Planet, and one also clocked the record for longest marsquake.Continu… Continue reading NASA’s InSight detects strongest and longest marsquakes to date
The Internet has brought us the ability to share data all over the globe, and nearly instantaneously at that. It’s revolutionized the sharing of science across the world, and taking …read more Continue reading An Earthquake Display To Keep You Abreast of Rumblings Worldwide
NASA’s Mars InSight has provided … well, insight, into the inner workings of the Red Planet. By monitoring “marsquakes” over the past two years the instrument has allowed scientists to measure the thickness and composition of Mars’ crust, mantle and co… Continue reading Mars InSight reveals first crust-to-core snapshot of Red Planet
Earthquakes are highly destructive when they strike, and unlike many other natural disasters, they often hit with minimal warning. Unlike hurricanes and floods, and even volcanoes to an extent, earthquakes …read more Continue reading ShakeAlert Promises Earthquake Early Warning of About 10 Seconds
