In 2022, they presented an image of the black hole in our Milky Way, Sagittarius A*. However, the data behind the images still contained a wealth of hard-to-crack information.

Unlike the narrow plume under Hawaii, the African superplume is broad and powerful. As it rises, it heats and weakens the lithosphere, the outer shell of the Earth, making it more likely to crack.

Earth may be forming a sixth ocean due to Africa splitting in two due to a massive crack growing faster than scientists had predicted. Damage occurred at an intersection in Maai Mahiu-Narok ...
