A river of molten iron, more than 2,000 kilometers below the surface, appears to have pulled off something Earth scientists ...

Scientists have ended a 9-year-old debate by proving that Earth's core rotates faster than its surface, by about 0.3 to 0.5 degree per year. Earth’s iron core consists of a solid inner core about ...

Clouds drift over the dome-covered seismometer, known as SEIS, belonging to NASA's InSight lander, on Mars. NASA/JPL-Caltech Scientists have been experimenting with the core and the crust of the red ...

Our planet's core is 2.5 years younger than the crust, a new study found. Researchers calculated the crust's relative ages and compared it with the core's age estimates. Apart from shedding new light ...

Almost any description of research involving Saturn's moon Titan can be challenging to introduce because there are simply so many things about the moon that defy what we've come to consider normal ...

We’ve learned a lot about our planet’s interior simply by tracking how the seismic energy released by earthquakes moves through or reflects off the different layers present beneath Earth’s surface.

What’s the News: In geologists’ traditional view of the middle of the Earth, the solid inner core is gradually growing as more of the liquid core freezes, as the planet continues its billions-of-years ...

The Earth's inner core is spinning faster than the rest of the planet, a new study confirms. The inner core spins at just nine-thousandths of a second faster than the rest of the Earth a year and is ...
