Episode How Deep You Could Dig on Different Planets Cover

Beschreibung

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 [https://megaphone.fm/adchoices]

Episode What Prevents Us from Hearing Aliens? Cover

What Prevents Us from Hearing Aliens?

Ever wondered why we're not picking up intergalactic chatter from E.T. and friends? First off, the vastness of space means signals from potential extraterrestrial pals might be traveling for light-years before reaching us. Plus, our current technology is like bringing a kazoo to a symphony – not exactly tuned for the intricacies of interstellar communication. Then there's the space static, like cosmic interference messing with our celestial radio reception. It's a bit like trying to have a phone call during a thunderstorm – lots of crackles and pops. So, while we're eager to hear from our cosmic neighbors, it seems the universe is playing a game of "radio silence" for now. 🛸📡👽 Learn more about your ad choices.
