Recording of a lecture from the series Fridays, which took place live with an audience on 11/11/2022 on the topic: What did the InSight mission reveal about the interior of Mars? The dawn of the space age allowed us to see what Mars looks like on the surface. We found a world whose face was shaped by a series of processes connected with volcanic activity, the presence of liquid water and ice, collisions of bodies, erosion and tectonic processes. But what remained hidden from us was what Mars looks like inside. Is its internal structure similar to Earth or different? And if they differ, how? To find the answers, the InSight probe was sent to Mars, placing a seismometer and thermal probe on the surface. That is, a device that allows us to look under the surface of the planet. As part of the lecture, we will look at the fate of this probe and get closer to the main scientific discoveries that the probe enabled us to make. Lecturer: Mgr. Petr Brož, Ph.D. (*1984), is a researcher at the Department of Geodynamics of the Institute of Geophysics of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, where he researches volcanic activity in the solar system. It mainly focuses on the search and description of small volcanic bodies on Mars formed during both explosive and effusion volcanic eruptions.
