"Scientists have made the most precise measurements ever of Mars’ rotation, for the first time detecting how the planet wobbles due to the “sloshing” of its molten metal core."

"[S]cientists would beam a radio signal to the lander using the Deep Space Network [... and ...] look for tiny changes in frequency caused by the Doppler shift. Measuring the shift enabled researchers to determine how fast the planet rotates."
