With the help of the two brave robots InSight and Perseverance, scientists have mapped the inner layers of a planet other than Earth for the first time ever: wired.trib.al/SXO7eqp 1/4
They discovered that Mars’ crust is not as thick as it was once believed to be, and that it’s likely made of two or three layers. And while they can’t actually see the planetary center, the team was able to deduce the core is around 1,550 km from the surface. 2/4
“It's built from similar building blocks as our own planet, but Mars looks very different,” says University of Cambridge global seismologist Sanne Cottaar. 3/4
This and other breakthrough data could help answer age-old questions about the Red Planet, like why Mars’ magnetic field seemingly disappeared, or how its volcanic activity seems to have died.

When you sign up for a Google account, you get 15 GB of free storage, split across three main products—Gmail, Google Drive, & Google Photos, but once you run out of space, you’ll have to pay to play.

Here’s how to avoid the upcharge for more storage: wired.trib.al/cMPUwA6 1/
If you've had your Gmail account for years, emails tend to add up. Clear out older emails by typing in "older_than:1y" into the search box at the top of Gmail to look for messages older than a year. You can change the number of years, or switch to months if you want. 2/ Image
Once your selected emails appear, click the selection box above the list on the left to select all of them, then click the Select all conversations that match this search option. Simply click the Delete button to erase. 3/
