A new study published in Nature Astronomy combined orbital imagery with seismological data from NASA’s Mars InSight lander to derive a new impact rate for meteorite strikes on Mars.

NASA’s InSight Mars lander has detected the largest quake ever observed on another planet – an estimated M5.0 that occurred on May 4, 2022, the 1 222nd Martian day, or sol, of the mission.
