Unveiling the Secrets of the Moon: China's Discovery and Scientific Confirmation
TL;DR
Scientists have confirmed that the moon has a fluid outer core and a solid inner core, similar to Earth's. The inner core is made up of a metal with a density similar to iron and measures about 500 kilometers in diameter. The findings were based on seismic data from moonquakes and modeling with different core types. The study aligns with a previous NASA study, lending credibility to the conclusion. However, mysteries about the moon's magnetic field and other aspects of its structure remain unsolved.
