the surface of mars nasa gears up to launch a spacecraft that aims to explore the red planet inner structure. hi michelle henery thanks for joining us fresh earthquakes have struck why is the big island where the killer whale volcano has been spewing lava into residential areas the eruptions have forced hundreds of people to evacuate aftershocks from a series of earthquakes have also been rumbling across the island the u.s. geological survey measured the largest tremor as magnitude six point nine the strongest since one thousand nine hundred seventy five so far there's been no reports of injuries or major damage. and we're now joined by john tarsem he's a logger tour guide for epic lava based on the island of hawaii john thanks for

joining us you're based close to the killer whale book walking out that is erupted what is the current situation where you are. yes we're on the east side of the big island of hawaii and right now we are going through a period of time where we just went through massive swelling of the volcano and it's starting to release some of the energy in the last couple days what we've seen is lots and lots of earthquakes i think in the last three to four days there's been well over a thousand and in the last couple days in particular they've gotten more intense today they got a little bit fewer and we got some active ones like a six point nine that was just described there are fissures that are opening up down on the east drift i believe that at the meeting tonight and behold there had been somewhere between six and eight active seizures that had opened up in the last twenty four hours and you mentioned a meeting that you went to on the local council meeting where the situation was
1:03 pm
being told to the public can you fill us in about what happened there and what they may have advised the public to do. yeah you know they had they had to evacuate a lot of different small communities down there for different threats and belief that people are going to be in harm's way if different things happened so they were really going through a back you ation plan and the shelters that people could go to they had representatives from really all of the government entities to give ideas of what could be done people from public works people talking about the utilities people talking about people's pets and the humane society so it was really just an information grab all these for people to get together and understand what is going on but they also gave them serious pieces of information like the fact that you know the last time something like this happened in hawaii was in one nine hundred fifty five and that particular event lasted about three months long so they want
1:04 pm
everybody to understand that this is something that's going to be intense if it shut off tomorrow work it lasts for a really long time and so everybody really just need to make the proper preparations whatever that means to each of them wow so a lot from the top and you said it went on for three months to the public that really has no idea when they could possibly return home how did people react when they heard this information. you know. i can only compare it to like two thousand or two men with young twenty seven slow moved towards the exact town where the meeting was tonight in paula white and what i noticed is at that time people didn't really know what was going on they were very unsure as the lava crept closer to town people kind of were very high anxiety and it seemed like nobody wanted anybody near the lava everybody just wanted it to kind of happen and this time it seems like people are very receptive to information and the more information they get the better decisions they can make and i've noticed this time that social media has
1:05 pm
actually sort of taken over and allowed people to get kind of thing. on the ball in hawaii who are not written over be in the fastest place on the planet and when people on social media can show radios or actual evidence of things happening there to make it easier for the police the fire departments who were the parents all those places to make the proper decisions to get into action and go start doing their jobs social unit has proved a good way to communicate with the public and for them to communicate with the government john tar senator thank you very much for information of law the lavatory guide from epic law based on the island of hawaii. the u.s. space agency nasa is poised to launch its latest probe to mars the mars insight lander is that to be propelled to the red planet by a powerful atlas five rocket and is due to blast off from vandenberg air force base in calif it's blasting off right this moment in fact it's the first interplanetary
1:06 pm
mission to lift off from the u.s. west coast it's expected to take more than six months for the lander to reach mars and begin exploring the deep interior of the planet these are a live shot now from california a rocket launching into space it's expected regions. the long away way the launch comes after a two year delay due to equipment problems which also pushed up project cost to more than eight hundred million dollars the solar and battery powered lander is designed to operate for twenty six earth months or one year on mars. the inside lander will be the first to examine the internal structure of the planet mars scientists have been eager to gather data on the red planet's interior for decades. we know a lot about the surface of mars we know a lot about its atmosphere and even about its saw on

a spear but we don't know very much about what goes on a mile below the surface much less two thousand miles below the surface down to the center this heat probe should be able to fill in some of those gaps developed by scientists at the german aerospace center it will measure the temperature of individual underground layers and determine how efficiently these layers conducts heat to do this the probe will have to burrow deeper into mars surface than any previous drill. another instrument will monitor how much mars north pole wobbles as it orbits the sun. and for the first time a seismometer will measure seismic five gratian is on mars surface caused by earthquakes and meteor strikes the data acquired by all three experiments will make it possible to make new suppositions about the inner structure of mars and the information will help scientists to reconstruct the early development of rocky planets such as the earth mars venus and mercury.
1:08 pm
this will allow them to look back in time to when the super heated elements separated according to their densities and formed layers in the young planets. the structure of the planets consists of a dense missile core less dense mantles and a rocky outer crust formed as the planet cooled. on mars this process appears to have been faster and ended earlier than on earth there even today we can see the traces of the. early development phase on the earth these traces have been almost completely obliterated. it's fascinating what they can do in space nowadays and not some of the other stories making news around the world. in the u.s. geological survey says in addition to hawaii there's been
