About

Automatically translated from German

This focusTerra-led tour explains how seismic waves shape our understanding of Earth's structure and how measurements on other celestial bodies reveal insights into their crust, mantle and core. It covers findings from Apollo lunar missions and the InSight Mars mission, exploring differences between earthquakes on Earth, the Moon and Mars. A simulator allows visitors to experience these differences firsthand.
