Hey @elakdawalla, @NASAJPL, @NASAInSight, @kchangnyt, @Caltech, can you confirm/de-sensationalize the wild claim below?
“The seismometers, which are designed to measure surface movements less than the width of a hydrogen atom”
@nytimes ignores fans.

Do you believe it when NASA says it? I'm hurt. "SEIS is sensitive enough to detect vibrations smaller than the width of a hydrogen atom."https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=7266 …

I apologize. Didn’t intend to hurt. I worship
@NASAJPL but still confused. I’m puzzled that it can pick up seismic waves to the resolution of a hydrogen atom when dust storms rage on the surface, protected only by a small dome. I’d love some education/clarification. -
Here is a literature search for you. Happy reading. https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/#search/q=author%3A%22banerdt%2C%20b%22%20title%3A%22insight%22&sort=date%20desc%2C%20bibcode%20desc&p_=0 …
