Marsquake Data Uncovers “Lumpy” Martian Interior Shaped by Ancient Impacts

NASA’s InSight lander detected kilometer-scale debris fragments scattered through Mars’ mantle, likely remnants of ancient asteroid impacts. Seismic data showed high-frequency marsquake waves slowed and distorted by these hidden structures. The findings, published Aug. 28, reveal Mars’ interior is irregular and “chunky,” not smoothly layered. Scientists say the anomalies are preserved relics of Mars’ violent early history.

  • Oil Prices Surge as US Stocks Recover After Trump's Ambiguous Iran War Update
    April 4, 2026, 10:47 AM EDT. Oil prices surged sharply after President Trump's Wednesday address on the Iran conflict, with Brent crude climbing above $108 a barrel and WTI near $111, reversing earlier losses. Trump stopped short of providing a clear timeline to end the war, reiterating a vague two-to-three-week U.S. involvement estimate. The Dow pared a 1% drop to close down 0.4%, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq also trimmed losses amid mixed investor sentiment. Trump emphasized the U.S. impact on Iran's capabilities but deferred on securing the Strait of Hormuz, urging other countries to lead efforts in this vital oil passage. He also restated U.S. energy independence, underscoring the ongoing geopolitical risks shaping markets.
