The Surprising Interiors of Mars and Venus
Manage episode 381648651 series 1176127
New research suggests that Venus, Earth’s twin gone bad, may have started off with tectonic plate activity, like Earth. This will help us understand the evolution of Earth-like planets and why they become hothouses like Venus. Our other planetary next-door neighbor, Mars, may have a deep molten magma ocean, revealed thanks to a fortuitous meteoroid impact on the planet whose shaking was recorded by Mars Insight. Join us for these insights, space news, and more.
