how big was the meteorite
“Meteor impacts on Mars are not rare, we never thought we’d ever see something so big,” Ingrid Dabur, who worked on the InSight and MRO missions, said on Thursday. Researchers estimate that this meteorite must have been between 16 and 39 feet in size. If something of this size moves towards the earth, then it ends up burning in the atmosphere itself. Planetary science professor Philippe Logan said Thursday that this is the biggest meteorite impact ever since science measured the tremors through seismographs.
NASA released audio
NASA has released an audio recording of the collision, created from vibrations collected by the seismometer. Scientists said that this collision will give deep information about the interior of Mars, the history of the planet’s formation. The most surprising is about the snow found after the collision. Scientists believe that this ice will turn into water and become a gas in the atmosphere.
