NASA has shared the sound of a meteoroid crashing into Mars. It's the first time for seismic signals from a meteoroid impact to be detected on another planet.
The sound of a meteoroid crashing into Mars has been captured by NASA’s InSight lander, marking the first time for seismic signals from a meteoroid impact to be detected on another planet.
In fact, there were three separate strikes, as the space rock exploded into three parts when it hit Mars’ atmosphere. It elaborates: “After sunset, the atmosphere retains some heat accumulated during the day. Sound waves travel through this heated atmosphere at different speeds, depending on their frequency. As a result, lower-pitched sounds arrive before high-pitched sounds. An observer close to the impact would hear a ‘bang,’ while someone many miles away would hear the bass sounds first, creating a ‘bloop.’”
