Moon turned 'inside out' billions of years ago, researchers say

New information on the moon‘s evolution suggests that it may have turned itself inside out, according to NASA researchers. Simulations conducted by NASA show the moon’s mantle, the layer of hot rock beneath the moon’s crust, overturning. The exact cause of this is unknown, but the event is believed to have happened about 4.22 billion years ago. However, researchers do believe it was potentially caused by the same asteroid that created the South Pole-Aitken basin.

Mysterious 'surfboard' orbits moon surface in Nasa photographs

A mysterious “surfboard” orbiting the moon has been captured in incredible photographs from Nasa. Nasa photographed a sliver of a mysterious, surfboard-shaped object near the surface of the moon. Further studies show that Nasa’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) actually saw its South Korean counterpart, as the two orbiters whizzed past one another. The South Korean spacecraft appears distorted because of the extremely fast relative velocities between it and the LRO, about 7,200 miles per hour.
