It’s #NewEpisodeAlert time! Syzygy ep 101: Spin Down Earth. We turn our eyes from the heavens to the ground, with some weird rotational stuff going on with the Earth’s core. Plus, asteroseismology, Einsteinian weirdness, and #aurorae ! Get at it:

The Earth's core has been acting weird for at least 70 years now. We're not sure why, but sometimes it's spinning faster than the surface, sometimes slower. Emily explains how we know what's happen...
