Extended Data Fig. 1: Map of Mars with impact and marsquake locations.

Shown are the InSight location (yellow triangle), low frequency marsquake locations (white dots), and small and big impacts associated with seismic events since the start of the InSight mission (pink stars and diamonds, respectively). The white ellipse marks the Cerberus Fossae region, where many low frequency quakes originate. The red circle marks the HF event location region17. The hatched area shows the VF event source region (45, ≈ 2600km from InSight). Grey stars mark imaged impact craters not associated with a seismic event. The background shows thermal inertia data from the Mars Global Surveyor Thermal Emission Spectrometer6. A zoom inset shows the locations of impacts close to InSight in more detail.
