Moon Has Earth-Like CoreWashington DC (SPX) Jan 07, 2011 State-of-the-art seismological techniques applied to Apollo-era data suggest our moon has a core similar to Earth's. Uncovering details about the lunar core is critical for developing accurate models of the moon's formation. The data sheds light on the evolution of a lunar dynamo - a natural process by which our moon may have generated and maintained its own strong magnetic field. The team's findings suggest the moon possesses a solid, iron-rich inner core with a radius of nearly 150 miles a ... read more |
