, and lead to a more accurate understanding of the Moon's history – and, by extension, that of the Solar System.of the French National Centre for Scientific Research in France,"question the evolution of the Moon magnetic field thanks to its demonstration of the existence of the inner core and support a global mantle overturn scenario that brings substantial insights on the timeline of the lunar bombardment in the first billion years of the Solar System.
Artist's impression of different instruments measuring the properties of the Moon to reveal its core. They made several interesting findings. Firstly, the models that most closely resembled what we know about the Moon describe active overturn deep inside the lunar mantle. This means that denser material inside the Moon falls towards the center, and less dense material rises upwards. This activity has long been proposed as a way of explaining thein volcanic regions of the Moon. The team's research adds another point in the"for" tally of evidence.
The inner core, the team found, also has a density of about 7,822 kilograms per cubic meter. That's very close to theCuriously, in 2011 a team led by NASA Marshall planetary scientist Renee Weber found a similar result using what were then state-of-the-art seismological techniques on Apollo data to study the lunar core.of a solid inner core with a radius of about 240 kilometers, and a density about 8,000 kilograms per cubic meter.
