An international team confirmed that the inner core of the moon is solid and changes what was believed so far.
For years, scientists discussed what the moon structure was like. Now, a group led by Arthur Briaud of the CNRS of France revealed that the internal nucleus is solid, something that redefines what was known. Know the details.
The investigation combined seismic data, gravity measurements and the land-lun distance to assemble a complete model. The result confirmed that the moon has a liquid external layer and a solid internal with iron -like density.

The experts explained that:
