New research indicates the Moon's far side interior is significantly colder than its near side. Analyzing rock samples from China's Chang'e 6 mission, scientists found evidence suggesting a temperature difference of around 200°F (100°C) in the mantle. This discovery deepens the mystery of the Moon's 'two-faced' nature, with potential implications for understanding Earth's own origin. The research suggests these geological and thermal disparities have existed since the Moon's formation.
