lunar science

Lunar science studies the Moon’s composition, structure, and history. It explores how the Moon formed from debris after a giant impact, its volcanic activity, and surface features like craters and maria. Scientists analyze lunar rocks, soil, and gravity to understand its internal layers and thermal evolution. This research helps us learn about the early solar system, Earth's history, and the potential for future human exploration. Studying the Moon also offers insights into planetary processes and the differences between Earth and its nearest celestial neighbor.
