Prediction Confirmed! – Mercury’s Iron Core
Prediction confirmed!
On July 26, 2010 I made the following calculated prediction. Verbatim quote (see here (scroll down)):
“A prediction: Mercury’s rocky outer shell will be found to be far thinner than expected (or the iron mass far larger).”
Now take a look at this recent news article titled ‘Mercury gets a dose of extra iron.’
“Team members on the MESSENGER mission orbiting Mercury—with some help from Earth-based radar scientists—are reporting that Mercury’s iron core is even larger than had been previously thought.”
“That would leave the planet with a rocky rind as little as 200 kilometers thick.”
