Seeing an opportunity, researchers from NASA&#8217;s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Caltech flew instruments attached to high-altitude balloons over the region in hopes of making the first balloon-borne detection of a naturally occurring earthquake. Their goal: To test the technology for future applications at Venus, where balloons equipped with science instruments could float above the planet&#8217;s exceedingly inhospitable surface.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2021-06-nasa-balloon-california-earthquakenext-venus.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">NASA balloon detects California earthquake\u2014next stop, Venus?<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Between July 4 and July 6, 2019, a sequence of powerful earthquakes rumbled near Ridgecrest, California, triggering more than 10,000 aftershocks over a six-week period.
