Scientists know what's going on under the crust of the planets that are millions and billions of miles away from us. And they don't even need to go there, drill through their surface, and peek inside! They combine information about the planet's density, magnetic field, mountain ranges, heat, and seismic activity to make their smart assumptions. For example, Earth's magnetic field shields us and the atmosphere from solar flares and solar winds. Scientists believe that it exists thanks to a hot iron core inside the planet. If many earthquakes happen on the planet, there's a lot going on under the surface. If we talk about Earth, it's the movements of tectonic plates. Most earthquakes happen along their edges. But what about other planets? Let's find out! Today, you're about to figure out what lies under the surface of each planet in the Solar System! Get into your spaceship equipped with the largest drill you can only imagine – and off you go! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Even though we’ve never been there, we know that the Earth’s core is molten and hot. From the study of seismology, we've measured sound waves traveling through Earth and can tell that the core is super hot, just like the Sun. So it turns out, we walk over the Sun-like temperature every day! So why doesn't it fry us all? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Have you ever heard of the James Webb Space Telescope? If you're interested in astronomy and space, you've definitely herd about it and must be really excited about it!

Imagine there’s a huge hot ball hidden inside the Earth. It's floating in an ocean of molten metal. This ball also spins on its axis, but it moves faster than the rest of our planet. This is what the Earth's core looks like. The solid metal ball is the inner core, and it’s 750 miles thick. The outer core is the molten ocean. To reach the edge of it, you would need to dig a tunnel into the Earth that was about 3,700 miles long. But you would hardly want to go there, because it’s the hottest point on the planet. The core temperature is 11,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Humans have learned to use the heat coming from inside the Earth as a source of energy. If the core ever cooled down and that heat disappeared, this kind of electricity might become very expensive. Phones, computers, the Internet – all these things would cost a lot more. But this would actually be the least of our worries... So what would happen if the Earth's core went cold? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Did humans accidentally destroy potential life on Mars? It's a wild idea, but scientists are starting to ask if our actions might have wiped out microbial life before we even realized it was there. Mars is incredibly dry now, but billions of years ago, it had water and could have hosted tiny organisms. If any of our rovers or landers introduced Earth microbes or disturbed the delicate Martian environment, it might have disrupted whatever lifeforms could have been clinging on. Plus, some experiments meant to test for life might have accidentally killed it instead, like exposing samples to harsh chemicals. It’s not certain, but it’s a reminder that exploring other planets requires extra care, especially when it comes to protecting their ecosystems - if they exist! Learn more about your ad choices.

Black holes, like huge vacuum cleaners, eat up everything that falls beyond their event horizon. If you find yourself close to this border, you’re doomed! But black holes don't just absorb stuff. They also shoot jets into space — mysterious beams thousands of light years long. Astronomers are observing a black hole that's bombarding a nearby galaxy with a jet of X-rays, gamma rays, and electrons going the speed of light! Good thing it's not our own galaxy! But here's a thought experiment: what would happen if a black hole sent one of these cosmic laser beams right into Earth? Well, it wouldn't be pretty! ?? Learn more about your ad choices.

The Milky Way is the galaxy that includes our Solar System and much more... It's the second largest galaxy in the local group. So is there a way for us to know what's going on in the Milky Way? Sometimes objects can enter our Galaxy and escape it super fast. Like in 2017, when astronomers noticed a star streaking out of the Milky Way at a speed roughly four times faster than our Sun orbits.

On Pluto, the mountain peaks are covered with frozen methane. Because of its specific chemical composition, the snow on Pluto… is red. Astronomers discovered it in 1930, and Pluto was considered the ninth planet of our planetary system until 2006, after which it was recategorized as a dwarf planet. One interesting thing about this former planet is that it sometimes has an atmosphere, sometimes not. It has an oval-shaped orbit, which means, unlike almost all other planets, it doesn’t travel around the sun in almost perfect circles. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As much as we daydream about zipping through galaxies, reality is throwing a cosmic curveball. Interstellar travel is like the unicorn of sci-fi dreams – we want it, we wish for it, but it's as elusive as a disappearing asteroid. First off, let's talk distance: it's about light-years of distance. Our snazzy spacecraft might need thousands of years just to reach the nearest star. Space is vast, sure, but it's also packed with cosmic obstacles like asteroids, black holes. Sending messages, let alone physical stuff, across these distances is like sending a snail-mail letter to a galaxy next door. So, while we'd love to pack our bags and zoom off to explore the cosmic unknown, for now, interstellar travel remains in the realm of sci-fi books and futuristic daydreams.

Once upon a time, our Earth wasn't the green and blue ball we know today—it was an aqua world! A long time ago, when our planet was still a young cosmic newbie, it was showered with water-rich asteroids. These celestial water deliveries created vast oceans that covered most of the planet's surface. Volcanic activity spewed gases, forming a thick atmosphere and steamy conditions. As our world cooled down, the steamy atmosphere condensed into rain, creating a never-ending cycle of downpours that filled the oceans. So, thanks to a cosmic water ballet and some volcanic help, Earth became the ultimate water park before life even had a chance to do the wave. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jupiter is famous for its wild weather patterns, and it's been acting like the solar system's mischievous jester. Giant storms that could swallow Earth whole, clouds made of colors that would put a rainbow to shame, and a hurricane that's been raging for centuries. It's like Jupiter's weather forecast is stuck on "extreme." Scientists are scratching their heads, trying to figure out why this colossal planet is so moody. Maybe it's a giant's version of a midlife crisis, or perhaps Jupiter's just showing off for the other planets.🪐🌩️🌪️ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How fast does light travel? The official speed of light has changed several times throughout history. After centuries of debate and experiments with different results, the scientific community finally settled the matter in 1983…maybe. To measure the speed of anything, you’ll need to know 2 things: the distance between point A and B, and the time it takes for an object to travel between those points. With distance divided by time, you’ll have yourself the speed of light. But with every experiment done to measure light speed, there’s always been an extra cog in the wheel that everyone overlooked. Or rather brushed aside. And this is what we're going to talk about. But the truth is that the speed of light is the ultimate question among scientists, and so far, there’s just no way of truly measuring it. Unlike the speed of sound which is more conceivable, the speed of light might just be light-years ahead of us! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
