Since the landing in November 2018, InSight lander has been collecting information to help scientists better understand the internal structure and evolution of our neighboring planet. The device measures the temperature of the upper crust of Mars, records the sounds of alien earthquakes and measures the strength and direction of the planet’s magnetic field. InSight discovered a very peculiar electrically conductive layer, about 6.4 kilometers thick, deep below the surface of Mars. It is too early to speak with any certainty, but there is a chance that this layer can be a global reservoir of liquid water.
