Mysterious Heat-Emitting Granite Formation Discovered on Moon's Far Side
Scientists have discovered a large heat-emitting blob on the far side of the moon, likely caused by a buried mass of granite from a long-dead volcano. The anomaly was detected using microwaves to measure subsurface temperatures and is about 18 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the surroundings. This finding is significant as granite is rarely found outside of Earth, and it could provide insights into the internal workings of other rocky bodies in the solar system.
