- Nasa’s Mars Insight Lander has recorded four years of vibrations - Mars quakes - from deep inside the Red Planet.
- The analysis revealed reservoirs of water at depths of about six to 12 miles (10 to 20km) in the Martian crust.
- It is thought that Mars’ water vanished when the planet lost its magnetic field and atmosphere billions of years ago.
