Seismic data from NASA’s InSight mission reveal evidence of ancient magma movement deep beneath the crust, challenging the idea that plate tectonics are necessary for geological complexity. The discovery could also reshape how scientists think about the potential habitability of rocky worlds beyond Earth. Thank you for listening to Bedtime Astronomy — your guide to the cosmos.
