MOON FABRIC it is the natural satellite of the Earth, and it has been in its orbit for several billion years, but during all this time it was not the same as in the format we see today. More precisely, the researchers now put forward a theory according to which, on the MOON, there would have been a magma ocean for a period of 200 million years, i.e. much longer than was initially believed in relation to this phenomenon which also raised many signs of question.
MOON FABRIC had this ocean of magma formed following the collision between the Earth and a planet the size of Mars, this being the formation process of the moon, and the high temperatures kept its surface in a "liquid" state. Until recently, researchers did not know how long it would have taken for this ocean of magma to cool down and enter a solid state, but now they have come to the conclusion that the MOON needed 200 million years to to stay.
MOON: INCREDIBLE Discovery, NO ONE Knew Until Now
MOON FABRIC had this whole process simulated by the researchers, thus managing to calculate this very long period of time in which the entire phenomenon happened, a surprising one, by the way. The period of time calculated by the researchers now for the solidification of the magma ocean on the MOON is 10 times greater than the one that was initially calculated, and this says a lot about the huge difference between the estimates made by them.
"An important result of this scenario is that the early moon, which escaped the debris of this giant impact, was very hot - hot enough for its rocky mantle to be largely melted and form what we call an ocean magma. "Although the idea of a primordial magma ocean on the Moon is widely accepted, the time it took for it to solidify was not very clear. Previous models have suggested that it is quite fast – a few tens of millions of years.”
MOON FABRIC it has remained in its current form from 200 million years after its formation, until now, and considering the duration, it is unlikely that anything will change too soon. Practically, the MOON was formed 200 million years ago in the form we see now, and researchers still have a lot to explain about how the evolution of the Earth's natural satellite was influenced by this magma ocean inside .
MOON FABRIC it still has many secrets that have not been explained, but little by little we learn new details from the researchers who are constantly monitoring it.
