I’ve done it -- carefully placed this protective cover over my seismometer. Shielding it from wind and temperature changes will help it get its best measurements of any
#marsquakes. Stay cozy in there, little guy! pic.twitter.com/6ZcqJPBqKj -
With my grapple out of the way, I’ve been using my scoop to nudge my seismometer cable a little bit. I’m getting everything set up just right so I can get the cleanest signal possible as I listen for

To get ready to record
#marsquakes, my seismometer has been leveling itself out and adjusting its internal sensors. It’s always good to be centered and balanced. pic.twitter.com/2A6mpeLNKj -
I’ve released the slack in my cable so it won’t flutter as much in the wind and pull on the seismometer. Keeping it still will help as I listen for

Now that my seismometer is fully set up, safe under its protective dome, I’m ready to start answering one of my big questions: are there quakes on Mars?
#marsquakes pic.twitter.com/qkUE8E8753Mars in a Minute: Are There Quakes on Mars?Are there earthquakes on Mars? Or rather, "marsquakes?" And what could they teach us about the Red Planet? Find out more in this 60-second video from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. -
While I’ve been quietly listening for
#marsquakes, my team has been carefully studying ways to help my robotic mole get further underground. Learn more about the new steps I’m starting this week: pic.twitter.com/IKyWtbFPV9 -
My latest round of hammering with the robotic mole has it heading further in the right direction. I’ll take a rest from digging while my team enjoys a holiday break, and meanwhile keep an ear out for more

Martian sounds alert! I’m equipped with a very sensitive “ear.” My seismometer has been listening for
#marsquakes and has picked up other interesting signals as well. Grab your headphones and take a listen.

Listening for
#marsquakes is serious business! Now with its cover in place, our@NASAInSight lander will collect accurate data despite wind and temperature changes on the Red Planet: https://go.nasa.gov/2St5MNZ pic.twitter.com/l8msmPHtxB

Solar conjunction is here -- that means I’ll be heading behind the Sun for a couple of weeks. Don’t worry, I’ll keep watching the weather and listening for
#marsquakes in the meantime. See you on the other side! Read more: http://go.nasa.gov/2Pg9XMQ pic.twitter.com/7sEinsPRpm -
Alright Twitterverse, ultimate challenge, who can suggest how we keep our angel around for a little longer? Someone must know? Gosh we can measure
#marsquakes but yet a brainstem tumour#DIPG is totally baffling? Hit me with your best and brightest. No BS, I don’t have time.pic.twitter.com/AN2nUaFLnP

WoW
the WTS is working soooo well ! We’ve seen a more than significant reduction in the noise level of @InSight_IPGP after its deployment. We are in a pretty good shape to wait for the#marsquakes -
“Since arriving on
#Mars just over a year ago, @NASAInSight has detected 322#marsquakes. They are the first quakes ever detected on Mars, and the first on any body other than Earth and the Moon.” Piece by @alexwitzehttps://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-03796-7 … -
Saturday launch still on for
@NASAInSight mission to Mars taking some unique scientific instruments to measure the planet's temperature and pulse. We are especially excited to see if#marsquakes can be detected by the UK and French designed sensors http://www.seis-insight.eu https://twitter.com/NASAJPL/status/991833408077611008 …

The
#InSight lander is equipped with a seismometer that will measure waves from#marsquakes as well as meteor impacts. You can see the seismometer on the left hand side of this 1/2 scale model of the lander. pic.twitter.com/jXrcKJVyVT
