Unveiling the Lunar Secrets: Scientists Confirm Moon's Composition
Scientists have confirmed that the inner core of the Moon is a solid ball with a density similar to that of iron, settling a long-standing debate. By analyzing seismic data and conducting modeling, researchers found that the lunar core is similar to Earth's, with an outer fluid layer and a solid inner core. The findings support the existence of an active overturn in the lunar mantle and provide insights into the Moon's history and the timeline of the Solar System's early bombardment. The research also has implications for understanding the Moon's magnetic field and its eventual decline.
