NASA images show a meteor crashed into Mars, triggered a big quake, and kicked up surprise water ice

A meteor crashed into Mars on Christmas Eve 2021, and shook the planet so much that NASA‘s InSight lander recorded the rumblings.

Scientists didn‘t know where the quake came from until NASA‘s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, a spacecraft circling the red planet, captured images of the new impact crater. NASA revealed the discovery on Thursday.
