20 Things You Didn't Know About... Inner Earth

t's got solid and liquid parts, it's almost as hot as the sun, and it may be teeming with life. 1. In 1692 Edmond Halley (of comet fame) proposed that the Earth is hollow. Below the outer crust where we live, he pictured two concentric shells and a core about the size of Mercury, all floating in a luminous gas. 2.

Its outer part is molten. Its inner part is a solid hunk of metal that spins independently of the rest of the planet. 5.

A general court-martial has been inaugurated to hear charges against 97 soldiers, including 16 officers accused of mutiny, assault, cowardice and refusing to fight members of Boko Haram in the north eastern part of the country.

This position was opposed by the prosecuting counsel, Captain Ruth Agwai with Lt Colonel Ukpe also defending his position as the Judge Advocate.
