Published 2 months ago
Description
Did you hear about Earth's inner core? Apparently, it's suddenly switching direction, which is kind of a big deal!

This change could mess with our magnetic field and even affect the length of our days a tiny bit. It's still a bit of a mystery, but it's super fascinating how much is going on beneath our feet that we never even think about!
