NASA's InSight Mars lander detects 3 biggest marsquakes to date​


NASA's InSight lander has detected its three most powerful marsquakes yet, potentially giving scientists an even clearer picture of the Red Planet's interior.

InSight spotted 4.2- and 4.1-magnitude temblors on Aug. 25, then picked up another roughly 4.2-magnitude quake on Sept. 18 that lasted for nearly 90 minutes, NASA officials announced on Wednesday (Sept. 22).

The previous record holder, which InSight measured in 2019, clocked in at magnitude 3.7 — about five times less powerful than a 4.2-magnitude quake.

The "Eruptions, Earthquakes, & Emissions" web application (or "E3") is a time-lapse animation of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes since 1960. It also shows volcanic gas emissions (sulfur dioxide, SO2) since 1978 — the first year satellites were available to provide global monitoring of SO2.
 

All Greek media have the earthquake at 5.8. So far, a lot of old buildings have been damaged, and there are many injured people. A man, who was a construction worker at the church of Prophet Elias in the area, died when the dome of the church fell and crushed him the moment of the quake.

You can see some photos and videos of the destruction in the article here (in greek)
