InSight's first look inside Mars

Abstract

The first results reported from NASA's InSight mission on Mars include evidence for locally strong crustal magnetization, unexpected atmospheric processes, and marsquakes from distant, enigmatic sources. Some of the marsquakes detected by Insight's seismometer can be traced to Cerberus Fossae, a region that may be tectonically active. Together, InSight's geophysical measurements provide information about Mars's interior structure and evolution.
