What lies beneath the surface of Mars?
Turns out, it’s not a smooth, layered planet like we once thought.
New research using NASA’s InSight mission data reveals that Mars’ interior is a chaotic mess of ancient rock fragments – more like a Rocky Road dessert than a neat slice of Millionaire’s Shortbread.
These chunks, some miles wide, are leftovers from massive cosmic collisions over 4 billion years ago.
Sealed inside Mars' mantle like geological fossils, they offer a rare glimpse into the violent early days of our solar system.
Discover how this sweet-sounding revelation is reshaping our understanding of Mars – and the formation of rocky planets.

00:00What if I told you the inside of Mars isn't smooth and layered like a cake,
00:04but more like a messy Rocky Road dessert?
00:06For years, scientists thought Mars had a neat interior,
00:09like layers of biscuit, caramel, and chocolate in a millionaire's shortbread.
00:13But thanks to NASA's InSight Lander, that idea just crumbled.
00:17New seismic data shows the Red Planet is full of ancient rock chunks,
00:21some up to 4 kilometers wide, randomly scattered inside its mantle.
00:25Think marshmallows and biscuits floating in Rocky Road. That's Mars.
00:29These fragments are leftovers from violent, planet-sized collisions
00:33that happened over 4 billion years ago.
00:35Back then, Mars was still forming and got smashed by cosmic wrecking balls.
00:40The heat from those impacts melted the planet into magma oceans.
00:44As Mars cooled, it trapped these chunks deep inside.
00:47They've stayed untouched ever since, like fossils sealed in chocolate.
00:51Even the way they're scattered follows a striking pattern,
00:54just like broken glass, big shards surrounded by smaller bits.
00:58This discovery doesn't just reveal Mars' hidden past.
01:01It's helping scientists understand how all rocky planets, including Earth, were born.
01:06Mars just gave us a glimpse into the chaos of the early solar system,
01:10in the most delicious way possible.
