Cracking the Enigma of Lunar Swirls

Scientists studying the mysterious lunar swirls on the Moon have discovered a link between the shape of the surface and the shape of the swirls. By analyzing topographic data at a higher resolution, researchers found that the bright areas of the swirls are lower in elevation than the dark lanes between them. This finding challenges the previous belief that topography has no bearing on the location or shape of the swirls. Although the cause of the swirls remains unknown, these new insights provide valuable clues that could help unravel their mysterious origins and shed light on the Moon's unique history and geological processes.
