NASA’s Mars InSight has provided … well, insight, into the inner workings of the Red Planet. By monitoring “marsquakes” over the past two years the instrument has allowed scientists to measure the ...

Deep inside the mantle of Earth, Stanford scientists have recorded quakes which are physically not explainable.

The liquid outer core is surrounded by the thick layer called the mantle. It’s mostly solid rock, not melted like lava. Over time, changes in heat and pressure make the solid rock slowly flow. It’s ...

When the supercontinent Pangea began to fragment around 200 million years ago during the Early Jurassic, it reshaped the face of the planet. Vast new oceans opened, continents drifted apart and the ...

What lurks within the Red Planet? Although only a tenth as massive as Earth, Mars looks to have once been habitable like our own world, leading scientists to wonder whether such similarity cuts to the ...

Researchers have drilled a window into the layer of our Earth that is responsible for volcanic activity, crust formation, and earthquakes. The mantle is incredibly difficult to study because it’s so ...

Researchers at Göttingen University have uncovered new evidence that some of Earth’s most precious metals began their journey far deeper than once thought. Working with volcanic rocks from ocean ...

The final frontier isn’t space: It’s Earth itself. We’ve sent people to the Moon, robots to Mars and the New Horizons space probe 3.26 billion miles from Earth to snap photos of Pluto, while just ...
