The Martian apparatus reveals the weather of the Red Planet

And now for the Martian weather: the new NASA InSight landing gear provides daily reports on the cold winter of the Red Planet.

Since February 19, Jet Propulsion Laboratory publishes information on temperature fluctuations, as well as wind speeds and atmospheric pressure indicators obtained by InSight. On February 17, the ship recorded -17 ° C (maximum) and -95 ° C (minimum).

Scientists need to investigate the Martian weather in order to understand whether InSight is registering real martian shocks or simply changes in wind and pressure.

InSight landed near the equatorial line in November. The weather also tells the rover Curiosity.
