Scientists Solved the Mystery of Strange 'Signal' from #Earth's Core
Scientists report they've confirmed a link between 8.5yr signal and "wobble" in Earth's core. Concluding core must be tilted at around 17* relative to Earth’s mantle, or crust. This goes against current thinking that tilt is much greater and that the spin of core matches up with that of mantle. It also implies core isn’t a perfect sphere but rather is egg-shaped and denser in the northwestern portion. https://www.vice.com/en/article/bvjb75/scientists-have-solved-the-mystery-of-a-strange-signal-from-earths-core-study-reports
