Looks Like The 40 Years Ago Technology Dropped Off On The Moon Back In 1971 Wasn’t So Bad After All!

Wow….One wonders what kind of semiconductor sensors these were back in the day. The first personal computer wasn’t even invented until 1972, Xerox claims it was a Xerox PARC (ALTO), the Apple verson was invented in 1976, the Apple I, it then became, yep the Apple IIe. So now you know!
Signals from seismic sensors left on the lunar surface by Apollo astronauts in 1971 have revealed that the Moon has a liquid core similar to Earth’s.
Scientists at Nasa applied contemporary seismological techniques to the data being emitted from sensors placed by their colleagues during the U.S. space program’s heyday.
The new research suggests the Moon possesses a solid, iron-rich inner core with a radius of nearly 150 miles and a fluid, primarily liquid-iron outer core with a radius of roughly 205 miles.
Where it differs from Earth is a partially molten boundary layer around the core estimated to have a radius of nearly 300 miles.
The data sheds light on the evolution of a lunar dynamo – a natural process by which our Moon may have generated and maintained its own strong magnetic field.
