Mars Just Got More Complex: 123 Craters Found by AI

A total of 123 fresh craters were found on Mars out of which 49 are newly discovered craters matched quakes detected by InSight’s seismometer

AI helped astronomers discover new crater on Mars

The new crater revealed a long-hidden secret about Mars' seismic activity, showing that meteoroids striking the planet produce seismic signals

The study was a collaboration between NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) and the InSight lander

This discovery offers better insights into the formation of rocky worlds, including Earth and the Moon

The impact site was 1,640 km away from the InSight lander, much farther than expected

AI was used to analyze images and identify craters within 3,000 km of InSight

The study suggests that seismic activity in Cerberus Fossae may originate from impacts, not just internal quakes
