A NASA mission on Mars has recorded evidence of seismic activity, including 174 seismic events across Mars--and 20 events with a magnitude of three or four.

Evidence of seismic activity on Mars that surprised the NASA team is part of a suite of six studies, published Monday in the journals Nature Geoscience and Nature Communications, capturing those first 10 months.

Since landing on Mars in November 2018, NASA's InSight lander has been performing an extensive doctor's checkup on the red planet, revealing some results that surprised InSight's science team.

While the instruments onboard InSight were designed to capture two years worth of data, the seismometer, which measures Marsquakes, returned that intriguing data about Mars in much less time.
