Ganymede may hold more liquid water than all of Earth’s oceans combined, yet this immense reservoir is buried beneath roughly 150 kilometres of ice—and scientists still do not know whether any of it has ever reached the surface.
Ganymede may contain more liquid water than all of Earth’s surface oceans combined. The scale is difficult to…

Mars’s interior was long modelled as broadly symmetrical — but a Nature study published on 27 August found evidence that the mantle beneath its southern highlands remains 200 to 400°C hotter than the north and may be partially molten, an enormous thermal divide whose origin remains unexplained.
Mars looks divided before anyone tries to see beneath its surface. The north is dominated by broad lowlands.…
About 90,000 people crossed London’s new Millennium Bridge on the day it opened in June 2000, with as many as 2,000 on the deck at once, and it swayed so badly it closed days later; subsequent work found that as few as 160 pedestrians could trigger the instability, and the fix was a system of dampers installed on the bridge.
The story most people carry about the “wobbly bridge” is that crowds marching in step shook it, or…
