Meteors the size of basketballs hit Mars daily, much more often than researchers previously thought.

A NASA space probe, which landed on Mars in 2018, has enabled researchers to listen to the planet's internal rumble to measure the impacts, something that proved to be more accurate than looking at images.

Each year, between 280 and 360 meteors hit, with blasts that create approximately eight-meter-wide craters.
