Trucks carrying vehicles and steel drive into the United States at the Otay Mesa Port of Entry, on the U.S.-Mexico border on February 1, 2025 in San Diego, California. President Trump implemented 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada as well as a 10% duty on China which began today, in retaliation for what the administration says is “illegal fentanyl that they have sourced and allowed to distribute into our country.”

Tim McCoy, Research Geologist and Curator of Meteorites, and Rob Wardell, Museum Specialist, from the Department of Mineral Sciences at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., place a sample of the asteroid Bennu into a Thermo Fisher FEI Quattro Analytical Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) for analysis. SEM analysis will provide information on the physical characteristics and molecular composition of the asteroid sample. This sample was collected by NASA's OSIRIS-Rex (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification and Security-Regolith Explorer) mission in 2020 and returned to Earth in September 2021, where it has undergone intensive study. Because of Bennu's rare carbon-rich composition and its dating to the formation of the solar system over 4.5 billion years ago, Smithsonian scientists believe analysis of this sample will provide insights into how water and organic molecules first reached Earth, a core research focus of the National Museum of Natural History's initiative, Our Unique Planet.

Space and science

Computer illustration showing Earth's internal structure. The core consists of an inner region and an outer region. The mantle consists of the mesosphere, the athenosphere, and the lower part of the lithosphere. The crust is the upper part of the lithosphere. The crust is around 40 kilometres thick in the continents, and as little as 5 kilometres thick in the deep ocean. The mantle is a viscous layer of rock some 2900 kilometres deep. The outer core is a liquid composed of molten iron and nickel. Convection currents in these metals are responsible for producing the Earth's magnetic field. The outer core is around 2250 kilometres thick. Below it is the solid inner core which is a hot, solid sphere of iron and nickel, some 1200 kilometres in radius, at a temperature of around 5500 degrees Celsius.
