NASA's robotic probe InSight has detected and measured what scientists believe was a "marsquake", marking the first time a likely seismological tremor has been recorded on another planet. The faint rumble was picked up by the probe's sensors on April 6, 2019 - the 128th Martian day, or sol, of the mission.
