In fact, Earth's inner core appears to have another even more inner core within it. "Traditionally we've been taught the Earth has four main layers: the crust, the mantle, the outer core and the inner ...

Their research suggests that the core may have an additional, hidden layer inside it, challenging what scientists have long believed about the planet's structure. This research was published in the ...

Boffins have found evidence that the Earth's inner core has another smaller core within it. Conventional knowledge suggests our planet has four main layers; the crust (where we live), the mantle ...

Although they don't impact the surface directly, historical evidence and simulations suggest airbursts can pack a punch.

Bennu, which comes closest to Earth every six years at a distance of 299,000 km, has a one-in-2,700 chance of colliding with ...
