TL;DR

Scientists have discovered that the Moon has a solid core, similar to Earth, and have provided an explanation for the presence of iron-rich materials on its surface. By combining various techniques, researchers have revealed the internal structure of the Moon, confirming the existence of a solid inner core and a fluid outer core. They also propose the hypothesis of a lunar mantle overturn, which explains the movement of material within the Moon's mantle and the presence of iron-rich elements at the surface. These findings contribute to our understanding of the solar system's history and phenomena such as the disappearance of the lunar magnetic field.
