The intention is to visit it again in the near future and even establish a base there. Moon Studies on this topic continue. Scientists have now conducted a new study of the layers beneath the moon’s surface. Accordingly, our planet’s satellite has a core similar to the Earth’s core.

core of the moon Is it frozen or melted? It has been talked about for a long time. Seismic studies conducted by Arthur Briaud and his team at the French International Center for Scientific Research provided an answer to this question. This research is expected to answer questions about the history of the moon and the solar system.

The moon’s core may contain molten iron

In the past, it was claimed that the moon had a very strong magnetic field, but this magnetic field weakened over time. In order to form magnetic fields, there must be molten metal in the core. In the study, researchers examine seismic data collected from various sources around the hard core of the moon This showed that a layer of lava was present. It was stated that the diameter of the outer core is 362 kilometers and the diameter of the inner core is 258 kilometers, while the density of the inner core is 7822 kilograms per cubic meter. This is very close to the density of iron.

Another interesting information revealed is that the moon underground movements related to. It appears that the denser materials in the moon’s structure collapse toward the moon’s core, pushing the lighter materials toward the surface. Scientists claim this will help explain the volcanic crater structures on the moon.

The research has been published in Nature.
