Volcano found on the Moon’s farside

I thought the moon was supposed to be dead. I heard it was also hollow too.

They're referring to a long dead volcano.

It must have been a FR thread where I read they figure the moon has a molten core. So perhaps the entire moon isn’t quite dead yet.

Too bad we’re no closer to landing there than when the landing was faked in a Hollywood studio 40 years ago.

Apparently you live in a state where drugs are legal.

Here’s the thread from earlier this year on “Moon has molten core....”

I thought the moon was supposed to be dead. I heard it was also hollow too. How is this possible?

to me it mean that at least at one time the moon had a hot core and was a planet as Sumerian mythology claim, how did they know? A MYSTERY

[GeronL]

ok!

[GeronL]

2112- thanks

munin- I’ll have to ask Sunkenciv about that Sumerian thing

[Revolting cat!]

What does that have to do with the documented fake moon landing, I dunno. Believe MSM much?

[21twelve]

Welcome. I was wondering how come all the other planets have cool names for their moons - and we just have “the moon”.

[GeronL]

We can also call it Luna or Selene I guess, those are actual names for it too I think.

[dadgum]

Of course it does.
It was designed that way.
The Earth is our birthplace, but the cosmos is our destiny.

I do not know what you are smoking, but it is high quality weed. :)

[Revolting cat!]

This guy, whom I think I recognized, told me he had smoked some fine quality Moroccan hash with Neil (Armstrong) while shooting the fake moon landing in Burbank.

It’s a refueling station for the mothership.

Or an RV dump....

[ETL]

Thanks. I had never seen that. Pretty major discovery.

Here's the story from NASA itself...

An artist's rendering of the lunar core as identified in new findings by a NASA-led research team. (NASA/MSFC/Renee Weber)

State-of-the-art seismological techniques applied to Apollo-era data suggest our moon has a core similar to Earth's.

Uncovering details about the lunar core is critical for developing accurate models of the moon's formation. The data sheds light on the evolution of a lunar dynamo -- a natural process by which our moon may have generated and maintained its own strong magnetic field.

The team's findings suggest the moon possesses a solid, iron-rich inner core with a radius of nearly 150 miles and a fluid, primarily liquid-iron outer core with a radius of roughly 205 miles. Where it differs from Earth is a partially molten boundary layer around the core estimated to have a radius of nearly 300 miles. The research indicates the core contains a small percentage of light elements such as sulfur, echoing new seismology research on Earth that suggests the presence of light elements -- such as sulfur and oxygen -- in a layer around our own core.

The researchers used extensive data gathered during the Apollo-era moon missions. The Apollo Passive Seismic Experiment consisted of four seismometers deployed between 1969 and 1972, which recorded continuous lunar seismic activity until late-1977. ..."

Well, gee, as long as it comes from such an impeccable source, I’m convinced.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks!

A second topic about this, thanks Ernest, and thanks GeronL for the additional ping.

The Super Laser is cooling down...

So perhaps the entire moon isn’t quite dead yet.

It's just pining for the fjords then?
