About 1,800 miles beneath the surface, Earth's internal structure changes abruptly where the solid rock of the mantle meets the swirling molten iron of the outer core. But the boundary between the ...
The Earth’s inner core, a solid sphere predominantly composed of iron and nickel, occupies a central role in our planet’s evolution and geodynamo processes. Although hidden beneath thousands of ...
The Giant Impact Hypothesis has long fascinated scientists as the leading explanation for the Moon's formation. Around 4.5 ...
Mars is known for its barren desert landscape and dry climate. But two recent studies go beneath the surface: They explore the interior of the red planet using seismic data from NASA's InSight mission ...
ESO’s New Technology Telescope (NTT) has been used to find the first evidence that asteroids can have a highly varied internal structure. By making exquisitely precise measurements astronomers have ...
Quantifying the energy budget of Earth in the first few million years following the Moon-forming giant impact is vital to understanding Earth’s initial thermal state and the dynamics of lunar tidal ...
The European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) New Technology Telescope (NTT) has been used to find the first evidence that asteroids can have a highly varied internal structure. By making exquisitely ...
Mars is known for its barren desert landscape and dry climate. But two recent studies in the journals Nature and Science go beneath the surface,... The core of Mars looks like Earth’s. What makes the ...
