Moon Found To Have A Solid Core

Scientists from the University of Côte d’Azur in France and the Institute of Celestial Mechanics and Ephemeral Computations have found evidence that could solve one of the Moon’s most intriguing mysteries. Ritual core The research team developed a model to shed light on the inner geological structure of our satellite.

In the study, the inner core of the Moon is solid demonstrated results. Also, the density of the core to the iron They observed that it was composed of a metal that was close to each other. The findings of the researcher named Arthur Briaud and his team were published in the journal Nature.

The core of the Moon is estimated to be 500 kilometers wide.

The analysis also revealed information about the size of the core. core to work, 500 kilometers in diameter. This puts it to be about 15% of the Moon’s total width.

In addition, the research found evidence that the lunar mantle is undergoing changes. Researchers think this may explain why there is iron on the Moon’s surface. As warm material rises, volcanic activity on the Moon may have caused iron deposits on the surface that later cooled and turned into soil.

The results add to our previous knowledge of the Moon’s structure. Using seismic data from the Apollo missions, NASA found that the Moon was in a study in 2011. an iron-rich, solid core He said he had it. That research also found that the size of the core was 482 kilometers, close to what it is now. Using such previous data, the Briaud-led team developed a model and simulated the Moon’s interior geology.

It was stated that the inner core of the Earth would be ‘solid’ like the Moon.

Many studies in recent years He revealed that the Earth’s core has more than one layer. The molten iron core has also been proven to have an inner core, surprisingly ‘solid’. If the core is hot enough to melt iron, you might ask how the inner core is solid, let’s explain.

The iron in the inner core is not exactly solid. It behaves more like a liquid at high voltage and a solid at low voltage. has a dense structure. We obtain this information about the inner core by measuring how long it takes for vibration waves created by earthquakes to pass through the center of the Earth and reach the other side and are transmitted properly.
