The First Results from NASA's InSight Lander! SciShow News

The video discusses NASA's Insight mission, which landed on Mars in 2018 to study its seismic activity, magnetic fields, and atmospheric phenomena. Insight has recorded numerous seismic events, suggesting Mars is not geologically dead. It also detected local magnetic fields and gravity waves. Meanwhile, JAXA's MMX mission aims to explore Mars's moons, Phobos and Demos, to understand their origins and Mars's history. The mission will collect samples from Phobos, providing insights into the solar system's history and potential human exploration.

What was one of the significant findings of NASA's Insight Lander on Mars?

• Mars has a global magnetic field.

• Mars has active volcanoes.

• Mars has liquid water on its surface.

• Mars experiences seismic activity.

What does the presence of local magnetic fields on Mars suggest?

• Mars's magnetic field is currently active.

• Mars's magnetic field lasted longer than previously thought.

• Mars's magnetic field never existed.

• Mars's magnetic field is stronger than Earth's.

What is the primary goal of JAXA's MMX mission?

• To study the composition of Mars's moons.

• To establish a human colony on Mars.

• To find evidence of life on Mars.

• To explore the surface of Mars.

What will the MMX mission do after surveying Mars's moons?

• Establish a base on Deimos.

• Collect samples from Phobos.

• Launch a satellite around Mars.

• Send astronauts to Mars.

How does the MMX mission plan to collect samples from Phobos?

• By using a tiny cannonball.

• By drilling below the surface.

• By scooping the surface material.

• By melting the surface ice.

What could studying Phobos help scientists understand?

• The current climate of Mars.

• The history of water in the solar system.

• The formation of Earth's moon.

• The presence of life on Mars.

What is one of the challenges the MMX mission will face?

• Communicating with Earth from Mars.

• Avoiding Mars's dust storms.

• Finding a landing spot on Mars.

• Navigating another planet's gravitational field.
