Scientists have uncovered a vast donut-shaped structure buried thousands of miles beneath our feet.
Researchers from the Australian National University used seismic waves generated by earthquakes to peer into the Earth's mysterious molten core.

I don't need to know what's going on inside the earth... This whole place could explode into a star, or just explode tomorrow... So I'd rather not think about it.
