These represent the first impacts detected by the spacecraft’s seismometer since InSight touched down on the Red Planet in 2018.

She is a co-author of the paper and a specialist in Mars impacts.

The sound of a meteoroid striking Mars – created from data recorded by NASA’s InSight lander – is like a “bloop” due to a peculiar atmospheric effect. In this audio clip, the sound can be heard three times: when the meteoroid enters the Martian atmosphere, explodes into pieces, and impacts the surface.
