  • The hemispheric dichotomy between the southern highlands and northern lowlands on Mars is characterized by a change in crustal thickness along an apparently irregular boundary, which can be traced around the planet, except where it is presumably buried beneath the Tharsis volcanic rise. The gravity and topography of Mars is used to constrain the location of the dichotomy boundary beneath Tharsis, and finds that the dichotomy boundary along its entire path around the planet is accurately fit by an ellipse measuring about 10,600 by 8,500 km.

  • Analysis of radio science data from the NASA InSight Mars lander reveals details of the rotation of the planet, which have been used to determine fundamental information about its core, mantle and atmosphere.

  • The marsquakes dataset acquired by InSight shows that the Cerberus Fossae graben system is still actively opening, accounting for almost half of Mars’s seismic moment detected so far. This activity indicates the presence of a warm source located at 40 km depth, possibly due to local magmatic processes.

  • The authors show that the Martian crust, ~4300 km from the InSight landing site, has a subsurface interface similar to that beneath the lander, suggesting it is a regional or global feature that may be related to the closure of pore spaces at depth.

  • Various observer programmes, in which early-career scientists participate in science meetings for NASA’s planetary missions, have been set up in recent years. This Perspective analyses the effectiveness of two such programmes: InSightSeers and DART Boarders.
