    How Do We Know What is at the Centre of the Earth?

    How do we know what is at the centre of the Earth when no one has ever traveled there? Earthquakes provide the key. By studying how P and S waves travel through the planet and where they disappear, scientists can map Earth’s interior and determine the structure of its core.

Explore the cosmos with Edward Herrick-Gleason, Director of the Southworth Planetarium . We’ll find much to engage us: from the moon phases to the complex planetary motions to the formation of galaxies. Along the way we’ll discover that the celestial realm and terrestrial world are inextricably linked, for the former gave rise to the latter and, of course, to us, as well.
