From BRIGHT SIDE.
The Moon might look calm and quiet now, but long ago, it was a fiery ball of volcanic activity! 🌋 Scientists have been puzzled for years about strange heat spots under its surface, but now they think they’ve cracked the mystery. It turns out, massive underground lava chambers from ancient eruptions are still slowly cooling, keeping certain areas warmer than expected. These hidden "hot pockets" (not the snack kind! 😆) help explain why the Moon isn’t completely frozen solid inside. This discovery could even change what we know about how moons and planets cool down over time. Who knew the Moon was still holding onto its volcanic secrets? 🌕🔥
