Researchers used the new data to explore the inner structure of the moon. According to the discovery of the internal structure of the moon, the theories of its evolution may also be challenged.
According to Tekna technology and technology news service, a recent study by scientists shows that a solid sphere with a density similar to iron is located as the inner core of the moon. In general, seismic data is used to detect the internal composition of objects in the solar system. Earthquakes and their reflections can create sound waves that are generated by material inside a star or planet, helping scientists visualize its internal structure. The Apollo missions were able to collect a lot of seismic data for the Moon. Of course, the obtained quality was not very suitable for the accurate diagnosis of the internal core condition. Scientists already knew that there was a liquid outer core on the moon, the process of which had not yet been discovered.
In their studies, scientists found that the Moon’s core is very similar to the Earth’s core and consists of an outer fluid layer and a solid inner core. Arthur Brio of France‘s National Center for Scientific Research collected data from space missions as well as lunar laser experiments. This astronomer says about this: The results obtained in this study will challenge the theories of the moon’s magnetic field evolution due to the presence of an iron core.
