Scientists just found traces of rare metals in Hawaiian lava, hinting that Earth’s core is slowly leaking gold and other precious metals to the surface. Turns out, 99.999% of the planet’s gold is buried deep in the core, but tiny amounts are making their way up through volcanic plumes. Don’t grab your pickaxe yet—these are microscopic traces, not treasure chests. Still, this discovery could totally change how we think about Earth’s insides and even other planets! #Science #EarthScience #GoldRush
