Study Shows Mars Is Spinning Faster Than Usual

Scientists have detected how the planet wobbles due to the sloshing of its molten metal core. The conclusions are based on data from NASA's InSight Mars lander, which ran for four years before losing power during its extended mission in December 2022, as described in a recent Nature study. SWNS
