Mars Hit by Hundreds of Meteoroids Annually, New NASA Data Shows

Seismic data from the InSight mission reveals a higher-than-expected impact rate on the Red Planet.

NASA's InSight lander detected between 280 and 360 meteoroid impacts on Mars each year.
These impacts create craters larger than 26 feet, with some as large as football fields.
The data suggests Mars is more geologically active than previously thought.
Seismic data helps refine the timeline of Mars' geological history.
The findings may prompt a reevaluation of impact rates across the solar system.
