Earth has thrown up some surprises lately, with scientists finding that our planet's inner core is actually a textured sphere that, every once in a while, stops spinning and revolves the other way.
's insides are much more of a mystery. Beneath its cratered crust, the Moon's mantle sits atop what scientists think is a partially molten layer where clues to the Moon's formation could lie.If future data confirm new modeling by researchers from Germany, the Czech Republic, and the US, the lunar mantle might be solid all the way through, without a melt-bearing layer like geoscientists currently theorize.
Michaela Walterová, a planetary scientist at the German Aerospace Center in Berlin, and fellow researchers attempted to firm up our understanding of the Moon's insides based on existing data, prevailing theories, and a few new ideas. These tidal effects strongly depend on the Moon's interior density, viscosity, and rigidity. But the pull of gravity goes both ways, and the Moon periodically becomes deformed.
