Solving the Mystery of Mercury’s Massive Iron Core

New research has determined that the Sun’s powerful magnetic field influenced Mercury’s core, thus showing how stars exert control over the composition of their planets. Despite being one of the solar system’s smallest planets, Mercury has been found to possess a huge core with a high concentration of iron. The core of Mercury is believed to possess a liquid outer shell, just like Earth’s. But, unlike our planet, research indicates that this liquid shell surrounds a solid iron inner core for Mercury.
