Abstract
Seismology The first unsuccessful attempt to detect seismic activity on Mars was in 1975 on the Viking landers. More than 40 years later, Giardini et al. finally detected marsquakes with the seismometer on the InSight mission that landed on Mars in 2018. Most of the detected marsquakes have been small, but there were a few that could be as large as a magnitude 4. Although most of the 174 events were likely due to seismic activity, some may have been caused by meteorite impact or other sources. The catalog forms a basis for further investigation into the rock properties in the martian interior. Nat. Geosci. 13 , 205 (2020).
