The Moon is a differentiated world. This means that it is made of layers with different compositions. The heaviest materials have sunk down into the Moon’s center, and the lightest materials have risen to the surface. Studies of lunar gravity, rotation, and quakes have helped us to understand the Moon’s layers.

At the Moon’s center is a dense, metallic core. This core is largely composed of iron and some nickel. The Moon’s core is relatively small (about 20% of its diameter) compared to other terrestrial worlds (like Earth) with cores measuring closer to 50% of their diameters.

The Lunar Mantle and Crust

Above the core are the mantle and crust. Differences in compositions between these layers tell a story of the Moon being largely, or even completely, composed of a great ocean of magma in its very early history. As the magma ocean began to cool, crystals formed within the magma. Chunks of denser mantle minerals, such as olivine and pyroxene, sank down to the bottom of the ocean. Lighter minerals crystallized and floated to the surface to form the Moon’s crust. The lunar mantle, with a thickness of roughly 1350 km, is far deeper than the crust, which has an average thickness of about 50 km.

The lunar crust is thinner on the side of the Moon facing the Earth, and thicker on the side facing away. Researchers are still working to determine why this might be.

Lunar Terrain

Apollo 15 photograph of astronaut bootprints on the dusty lunar surface. Astronaut David Scott captured this photo during a moonwalk in 1971. The ridgeline in the background, nicknamed the Swann Range by the Apollo 15 crew, is part of the lunar Apennine mountains. The grid of black crosses in each Apollo image can be used to calculate distances and heights on the lunar landscape. Credit: NASA

The light areas of the Moon are known as the highlands. The dark features, called maria (Latin for seas), are impact basins that were filled with lava between 4.2 and 1.2 billion years ago. These light and dark areas represent rocks of different composition and ages, which provide evidence for how the early crust may have crystallized from a lunar magma ocean. The craters themselves, which have been preserved for billions of years

Event prediction through Moon’s physical aspect –

1. Moon sits at which house; person have to deal with over whelmed emotion related to that area. (magma ocean began to cool, crystals formed within the magma)
2. The house related to moon aspect or in which it sitting, material of that house and prosperity of that related house will be basic need of person.
3. Person will be very prone to store the things related to that house in which moon sits. As like moon sits in 4^th house of horoscope person will be very interested to keep collection of clothes, music gadgets and jewelry assets. (This core is largely composed of iron and some nickel.)
4. Moon sits in which house person will deal with that related house problem in different form. As like any person have moon in 5^th house person will deal problem related to stomach and relationship issues at the same time. (Light and dark areas represent rocks of different composition and ages.)
