Touchdown!

NASA's Insight Lander as landed on the surface of Mars. It landed at 9:00 AM, New Zealand Daylight Time (3:00 PM, Eastern Time). Let's know some facts and information about the spacecraft.

• Launch Date: 5 May 2018, 11:05 PM NZST (New Zealand Standard Time)
• Launch Location: Vandenberg Air Force Base, California
• Landing Site: Elysium Planitia, Mars
• Cost: 828.8 million USD
• Manufacturer: Lockheed Martin Space Systems
• Contractor: United Launch Alliance
• Insight has launched to study Mars.

Here is an image which shows facts about NASA's InSight.

• There are two goals in the mission 
• To understand how rocky planets have formed and involved and know about the structure:
• The size of the core, what it is made of, if it is liquid or not.
• Thickness and structure of the crust.
• Structure of the mantle and what it is made of.
• How warm the structure is and how much heat is still flowing through.
• How tectonically active Mars is today, how often meteorites impact it. It would measure:
• How often meteorites hit the surface of Mars.
• How powerful and frequent internal seismic activity is on Mars. Where it is located within the structure of Mars.

Some people might be thinking, why Mars? Why is the spacecraft viewing Mars?

Well, spacecraft which have been to Mars have investigated the history of Mars' surface by features like volcanoes, canyons, soil and rock. Comparing other terrestrial (rocky) planets, Mars has been never too big or too small. This could mean that it could have a record of the formation and how terrestrial planets formed. Landers like NASA's InSight can reveal how active Mars is.

Landing

NASA's Insight had landed 7 minutes and one second before prediction, 9:52:59 AM (New Zealand Daylight Time), 11:52:59 AM (Pacific Time), 2:52:59 AM (Eastern Time). The mission is going to last for 1 Mars year; 709 sols (the name for 'day' in Mars), that means ~ 2 Earth years; 728 Earth days.

There are three images taken, from the landing.

Liquid Ocean Outside of this World?

Today I am going to tell you about a place out of this world who has water under it's surface, this place is in our own solar system. This place has been for millions of years. I will tell you a hint, it is a moon 🌚 of Jupiter. It is Europa. Europa is one of the 4 Gelliean moons. Also it is the 6th largest moon of Jupiter. Now lets talk about the liquid ocean of Europa.

On Europa's surface it is rocky and icy. The water on Europa is about 1,090 miles from a sapphire shape. Europa's surface water is 10 times bigger than earth's water surface. If there is water on Europa than the water on Europa is twice than earth's water. Images from the Hubble Space Telescope tells them that there might be erupting plumbs of water to space. If that is true than NASA will fly into those plumbs and discover more things about Europa. Europa's water surface is about 2 to 3 times the volume of earth.

I have also made a site of the water on Europa. Click here to go on the site. In my site it has more information about the water on Europa, it has information about the water, also it has facts about Europa and it's water, there are images and videos that I have found out about Europa. I have tried my best on this site and hope you like it. Have a cool 😎 day/week/holiday!! Bye!!
