...astounding. Far from being just a featureless sphere of molten iron, the core has a surface that is apparently studded with mountains and riddled with depressions that may be filled with lower-density fluid that forms the equivalent of oceans. There may even be a bizarre kind of rain: showers of iron particles that sprinkle down on the core. And all of this takes place in a region whose temperature is perhaps as hot as the surface...
WGBX-TV has been covering Commencement live annually since 1977.
