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 ...

Quakes on Mars have unveiled its interior to an unprecedented degree, revealing surprising details about the Red Planet's crust, mantle and core. Measurements taken by NASA's InSight (Interior ...

Like a mosquito tunneling into the skin to get at the rich feast within, geologists poked a long, narrow drill into Earth's crust last year, pulling out a treasury of geological goodness. The result ...

Deep inside Earth, far below the crust and mantle we learn about in school, two colossal structures loom above the core like ...

Explore the fascinating tale of the Kola Superdeep Borehole, a monumental scientific endeavor by the Soviet Union that aimed ...

Scientists found rocks deep inside Earth's mantle that generate hydrogen and could reveal clues about deep energy and the ...

For the first time, seismologists have imaged the interior of another planet. Using data from NASA's InSight spacecraft's seismometer, the agency's Mars rovers and orbiters around the red planet, the ...

Earth's internal structure consists of four layers: the crust, mantle, outer core (liquid iron), and inner core (solid iron), with temperatures increasing significantly with depth, reaching values ...

Earth's internal structure, comprised of a crust, mantle (including upper and lower sections with varying mineral compositions like olivine, bridgmanite, and ferropericlase), outer core (liquid iron ...

Seismic waves created by earthquakes as they travel through the planet's interior change speed and direction as they move through different materials. Things like rock type, density, and temperature ...
