Scientists find hidden layer in Earth’s inner core

The video discusses Earth's structure, traditionally known to have four layers: crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. A new study from the Australian National University suggests an additional layer within the inner core, primarily composed of iron and about two-thirds the size of the moon. This finding implies a significant event in Earth's early history, possibly 4.5 billion years ago.
