What constitutes an unusually large mass of matter on the Moon?

The lunar region of the Moon has an extremely large mass of material that lies at the southernmost end of the scientific world.

The Antarctic sunken region - Aitken is a large crater created by geological activities for a long time on the Moon, with a diameter of about 2,500km.

Beneath this basin there is an unusually large mass structure, extending at least 300 km underground, 10 times deeper than the Earth's crust. Scientists think this is a remnant of geological activity that creates a crater.

According to Geophysical Research Letters, the analysis results show that the material on the surface of the crater mouth is approximately 2.18 billion billion (2.18 x 10 ^ 18) kg . This volume is equivalent to a large asteroid.

The research team gave two reasons for the appearance of this mass. Perhaps the tectonics make certain materials concentrated beneath the crater while the surface of the Moon cools down. Or this mass of material could be the surface of a giant metal core beneath the surface after geological operations.

Both of these material hypotheses need to be considered more carefully, because it is important for scientists to better understand the history of the Moon.

If it was born by a collision, and located in the area 400km southeast of the crater center, it could tell us more about the impact of the volcano. If it is due to the uneven crystallization of lava, the scientific community will have more things to answer.

Two data sources used in this physical structure study include topographic data from the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter 's Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter on the Moon's orbit (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter) and global gravity data from Gravity Recovery Interior Laboratory.

A lot of interesting things about the Moon that have been opened recently are due in part to China's response to the Hang Nga 4 spacecraft to the hidden area of ​​this star. In addition, it is because America wants to bring people back to the Moon.
