First Likely Marsquake Heard by NASA's InSight

Показать описание
This video and audio illustrates a seismic event detected by NASA's InSight on April 6, 2019, the 128th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. Three distinct kinds of sounds can be heard, all of them detected as ground vibrations by the spacecraft's seismometer, called the Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure (SEIS): There's noise from Martian wind; the seismic event itself; and the spacecraft's robotic arm as it moves to take pictures.

This event is the first likely marsquake recorded by the InSight team. Several other seismic events have been recorded but are much more ambiguous than this signal.

The audio underscores just how seismically noisy the Martian surface can be and was produced from two sets of sensors included with SEIS. You can hear sounds from the Very Broad Band sensors from your left speakers and sounds from the Short Period sensors from your right speakers. Audio from both sets of sensors have been sped up by a factor of 60; the actual vibrations on Mars would not have been audible to the human ear. Playback on headphones or speaker system recommended for best experience.

Wow this is why i like science now. Coming from a student who used to hate science class funny how that worked out haha

This means one of two things. Either Mars is seismically-active or a meteor hitting near the spacecraft. Either way this is an awesome discovery and should be investigated further.

I would listen all day for these sounds

I love how they add visuals to stuff like this. Helps so much and is so cool.

Just think about this for a second, there's a planet out there with only robots making robot noises roving around.

Awesome work! I hope they can now get what is is obstructing the MOLE out the way and continue digging further into the martian soil!

Great to know that the planet still has a bit of life left in it, even after what it's been through in the past.

This sounds like ominous music played in horror or sci fi films
