For four years, it used a sensitive seismometer to detect subtle ground movements caused by crustal stress and meteorite impacts.
In 2018, NASA's InSight lander touched down on Mars to listen to the planet's interior with a super-sensitive seismometer. By studying a particular kind of vibration called "shear waves", we found ...
It’s so small that we don’t feel it, but the seismometers are so sensitive that they do.” The remarkable discovery, which has just been published in the ­Scientific Reports journal ...
A seismic snapshot of Mars' crust In 2018, NASA's InSight lander touched down on Mars to listen to the planet's interior with a super-sensitive seismometer. By studying a particular kind of ...
Sunday marks 45 years since Mount St. Helens erupted in Washington state. The deadly eruption happened shortly after 8:30 a.m. on May 18, 1980, following months of small explosions and earthquakes ...
Professor Maruyama Yoshihisa of Chiba University Graduate School analyzed data from seismometers set up in central Bangkok. As 60 story buildings appeared to have been mostly affected by the jolt ...
"Future missions with seismometers and drills are needed to confirm the presence of the water at these depths and gather more clues," Tkalčić said. Jess Thomson is a freelance journalist.
"This limitation can be addressed by future missions equipped with seismometers on Mars," concluded Tkalčić. The study was published on April 25 in the journal National Science Review.
"I actually happened to be in Alaska at that time, retrieving seismometers from another study," Sheehan said. "I decided to go visit the Sikuliaq, and it turned out that there had been a landslide ...
detectable by seismometers over 400 miles (644 km) away. That wave—imperceptible to humans—was a rare and overlooked clue that something catastrophic was about to happen. Together, these ...
