Mysterious mass beneath lunar surface altering Moon's gravity
Scientists have discovered a mysterious large mass of material, hidden beneath the largest lunar crater, that is altering the Moon's gravitational field. The mass was found under the Moon's South Pole - Aitken basin, and may contain metal from the asteroid that crashed into the Moon and formed the crater, according to the researchers from Baylor University in the US. "Imagine taking a pile of metal five times larger than the Big Island of Hawaii and burying it underground. That's roughly how much unexpected mass we detected," said Peter B James, an assistant professor at the Baylor University. The crater itself is oval-shaped, as wide as 2,000 kilometres and several miles deep. Despite its size, it cannot be seen from Earth because it is on the far side of the Moon. To measure subtle changes in the strength of gravity around the Moon, researchers analysed data from spacecrafts used for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory ...
