NASA’s Groundbreaking Findings
The NASA GRAIL mission has unveiled significant differences between the Moon’s near and far sides. The near side appears warmer and displays more volcanic activity compared to the far side. This intriguing contrast stems from ancient volcanic events that concentrated radioactive elements predominantly on the near side. As a result, the temperature in the lunar mantle varies significantly between the two sides.
This study offers crucial insights that will enhance future lunar missions and improve navigation strategies. Understanding the Moon’s geological history is essential not only for scientific knowledge but also for future exploration. These findings will guide our approach to studying the Moon and its impact on Earth.
