How exactly did you get that number? Going through the provided data XMLs? Or somehow else?

I just added all the recorded frequencys shown in the catalogue; from low to super high ones. I then substracted all records with bad quality to the total and divided the result by the number of days since landing (26 Nov, 2018) till report date to get a daily average.

I doubt that 1000 quakes per day is an accurate number. It's a 1000 measurements with believable data - but most will not contain quakes. Most recorded motion is - according to a very shallow skipping through the literature - attributed to wind influence.

Sorry if the notation confused you, its arround 1 per day.

Ah, that makes much more sense. I changed the decimal separator to dot ss that is used in English. The comma usually denotes the thousand separator

I think the last bit still needs an edit: "the mission has measured an average of 1.057 quakes per day since landing (686 days)" Perhaps "per day" should be deleted?

If you think that it is self-explanatory that 1.057 quakes refers to a daily average then please, do change it.

the "per day" or a "daily" is essential to understand the number. I'd actually write it slightley less accurate "Setting dubious events aside, in the period of 686 days, the mission has detected about one quake per day"

<p>Insight has been on Mars with its seismometer for almost two years now. Has it detected any mars-quakes yet? How often do these quakes seem to occur?</p>
<p>Is there a website where the current number of quakes detected by insight is indicated?</p>

Related but in Space SE, but perhaps old now and I don't see anything about a website where the current number of quakes is indicated. I think your question should have an new, updated answer here.

# How many quakes have been detected by InSight?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-09-05)

Insight has been on Mars with its seismometer for almost two years now. Has it detected any mars-quakes yet? How often do these quakes seem to occur?

Is there a website where the current number of quakes detected by insight is indicated?
