    Mysterious large mass discovered on Moon

    Mysterious large mass discovered on Moon

    Whatever it is, it is huge. 1,550 miles in diameter.

    A large mass of unknown material has been discovered on the largest crater on the Moon and scientists aren't sure what it is.

    According to an April 2019 study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, the researchers believe the mass could contain metal from an asteroid that crashed into the celestial satellite, which resulted in the aforementioned crater, known as the Lunar South Pole-Aitken basin.


    "Imagine taking a pile of metal five times larger than the Big Island of Hawaii and burying it underground. That's roughly how much unexpected mass we detected," lead author Dr. Peter James, assistant professor of planetary geophysics at Baylor University, said in a statement.

    At roughly 1,550 miles in diameter, the Lunar South Pole-Aitken basin stretches across approximately one-fourth of the Moon, according to NASA. The Moon's circumference is roughly 11,000 kilometers.

    One possible explanation is that the material is from a huge asteroid that hit the moon some time in the past. Perhaps, since President Donald Trump is committed to returning to the moon in the near future we can "unearth" the mystery.

    Who knows, maybe its actually an alien space ship like in "Tommyknockers" or "The Thing"

    Well, at least it isn’t on Uranus.

    The chance of it being a steroidal are slim since any impact or that large would explode on impact.

    It would take a really weird orbit for something like that to land relatively gently.

    It could be artifact from when the moon was still molten and metals pooled there and then started to sink into the cooling moon, to be stopped because the cooling gelled the cored before the differentiation process could complete.

    Alan Dean Foster wrote a bite a large buried ship in upstate New York, called "Codgerspace". Probably where King stole the idea from.
