Scientists reveal what the moon’s core is made of

Careful research has shown that the inner core of the moon is actually a solid ball, and it is similar in density to iron.

A new study has helped French scientists discover that the moon has a solid core made of iron. Space reported it.

Based on data from several space missions and using a process called laser ranging, which precisely measures the distance between the Earth’s surface and the Moon, the team behind this study found that the outer core of Moon is above the solid inner core. It is an inner core, composed of a metal with a density similar to that of iron, and about 500 kilometers in diameter, about 15% the size of the moon.

In addition to this discovery, the researchers also found evidence to support the idea that material in a layer between the core and crust, called the mantle, has been moving around since the formation of the Moon.

“This process, called flipping of the lunar mantle, may explain why iron-rich elements are found on the moon’s surface, as mantle material is extruded upward as volcanic rock left behind in the lunar crust. The results may help solve another mystery related to the evolution of the moon, namely, what led to the almost complete disappearance of the moon’s magnetic field, which was once 100 times stronger than that of the modern earth, ” said the message.

It was previously reported that NASA plans to land astronauts on the moon by the end of 2025 or 2026.
