Findings suggest that Mars has a solid inner core, leading to new theories about its geological evolution.
Seismic data from the InSight mission indicates that understanding of Mars’ magnetic field is evolving.
The study uses seismic clues to investigate the structural composition of Mars’ interior, linking core and magnetism.
Insights into the solid inner core may provide vital information about Mars’ past conditions and magnetic phenomena.
Abstract
Seismic clues from NASA’s InSight mission suggest that Mars hides a solid inner core, and raise new questions about why the planet’s magnetic field disappeared.
