Massive Structure found beneath the surface of the Moon by scientists 2024

Structure found beneath the surface of the Moon

With its ability to change shape and its mysterious dark side, the Moon has fascinated and awed people for millennia.

Even though it’s the only celestial body where humans have ventured (although briefly), there are still great strides ahead in terms of our comprehension of its capabilities and secrets.
But scientists have discovered a secret aspect of the Moon that is enormous and incredibly hefty.

Beneath the South Pole-Aitken basin, one of the Solar System’s largest intact craters, lies a structure that is at least 2.18 billion kilograms in weight, more than 2,000 km (1,243 miles) long, more than 300 km (186 miles) deep.

The US-based researchers that made the discovery proposed that the “anomaly” might be composed of oxides from the crystallization of a magma ocean or metal from the core of an asteroid.

“The metal from the asteroid that formed this crater is still embedded in the Moon’s mantle, which explains some of the extra mass,” lead author Peter B. James of Baylor University in Houston stated in a statement shared with IFLScience.

He continued, “Imagine taking a mound of metal that is five times larger than the Big Island of Hawaii and burying it underground to show exactly how enormous this thing is. That is approximately the amount of unanticipated mass that we found.
