First magnitude 5 earthquake 'heard' on Mars

A “Marsquake” with an estimated magnitude of 5 shook the Red Planet on the night of 04/05/2022. The French SEIS instrument, deployed on the ground by NASA’s InSight lander, had a front-row seat. Our teams have transcribed the event in audio.

A video was produced thanks to the data deglitching efforts of Grégory Sainton, research engineer at IPGP, and the sonification work of Rémi Lapeyre, head of Insight/SEIS operations at CNES. (© CNES/NASA/JPL-Caltech)
