The cover depicts a post‐perovskite structure of MgSiO 3 with CaIrO 3 symmetry found at the pressure and temperature conditions at the Earth's core–mantle boundary and suggests to explain most of the anomalies observed about 2700 km beneath the Earth's surface. The il‐lustration is from the Feature Article by Francisco Javier Manjón and Daniel Errandonea starting on page 9. (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
