An international team of researchers combine orbital imagery with seismological data from NASA¡¯s Mars InSight lander to derive a new impact rate for meteorite strikes on Mars. Seismology also offers a new tool for determining the density of Mars¡¯ craters and the age of different regions of a planet.
