NEW: The White House wants to kill off Juno, NASA's mission to uncover Jupiter's secrets. Fortunately, its legacy is already clear. Juno is a scientist, but also an artist: it revealed Jupiter as a living van Gogh painting hanging in the sky. Me @sciam

NEW: Earth is the weirdest planet. Exhibit #491: Primeval matter imprisoned within the planet's innermost sanctum – a metallic iron-nickel core – is leaking up and out of the surface via volcanic eruptions. Um. excuse me?. Me @QuantaMagazine

Strong new evidence suggests that primordial material from the planet’s center is somehow making its way out. Continent-size entities anchored to the core-mantle boundary might be involved.

NEW: You may wonder why Japan’s 2011 mag-9.1 quake created a colossal tsunami that killed 18,000 people, while today’s mag-8.8 quake made a big, but not catastrophic, tsunami. For @sciam, I explore why. (Hint: the 2011 quake was SO much stronger.)

Hey volcano-seismo peeps—a question. I've been writing about the Kamchatka quake + tsunami, but it's not escaped my notice that Klyuchevskoy volcano starts erupting too. Is this a coincidence, or could the changing stress field in the region have set this volcano off? LMK!.

Earthquake/tsunami experts: it’s a very tricky time of day but if anyone’s able to answer some quick questions about what’s happening in the Pacific, that would be hugely helpful. Let me know!.
