[About the #Martian mantle ...] In a recent study, Ludovic Margerin, a CNRS researcher at IRAP, challenges the findings of a study published last year based on the analysis of data collected by the #SEIS seismometer aboard NASA’s #InSight lander.

According to this new study, the analysis of InSight’s seismological data—which concludes that the Martian mantle is highly #heterogeneous—may contain #observational and theoretical flaws: https://www.irap.omp.eu/en/2026/04/the-heterogeneity-of-the-martian-mantle-is-being-questioned/

A rare active volcano on Mars may be causing the whole planet to spin faster

Data from NASA's InSight mission suggests the Red Planet's Tharsis region is more active than previously thought and may be why Mars is spinning more quickly over time.
