Astrophysicist Sabine Stanley discusses the knowledge we have about the interior of planets and how we gather this information. Topics include planet formation, exoplanets, the Earth's interior, seismic waves, age and activity of planets, seismic sensors, Earth's magnetic field, and the unique characteristics of inner planets. The chapter also explores the planned mission to explore Saturn's moon, Titan.

This week on the podcast, Sabine Stanley, Professor of planetary physics at Johns Hopkins University and author of the book 'What's Hidden Inside Planets?', discusses the amazing things that lie beneath the surfaces of planets. Topics include studying planetary interiors, mantle blobs, plate tectonics on Mars, seismic activity and composition of planets, Jupiter's interior structure, and exploring the internal workings of gas giants and ice giants. The podcast also touches on NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services program and the naming origins of space shuttles.
