The discovery was possible thanks to NASA’s InSight mission , which for four years was on Mars collecting data, including over 1,000 marsquakes. Almost all the strongest among those were caused by meteorite impacts , and their craters were spotted by orbiting missions. The impacts sent seismic waves deep into the p
