Since ancient times, astronomers have been fascinated with the Moon. Today, modern technology allows scientists to explore the lunar surface from afar. And some of their findings are outright baffling. Like, what is that huge and mysterious metal mass that’s just been discovered in one of the Moon's craters? Imagine a gigantic chunk of metal almost the size of West Virginia. As for its weight in pounds, this number has a string of 17 zeros behind it. So far, scientists have been struggling to explain where this huge lump of unidentified material came from or what it really is. But let's start from the beginning… Other videos you might like:

– On the far side of the Moon, you’ll find one of the largest and oldest impact craters in our Solar System: the South Pole-Aitken basin. – Astronomers are sure that this crater appeared when an asteroid collided with the Moon around 4 billion years ago. – In one place on the Moon's surface astronomers saw a weird change in gravity. – So far, researchers haven't yet figured out the origin of the bizarre lump, but there are several theories.
– Most scientists support the theory that the puzzling mass is a part of the monstrosity that once created the very South Pole-Aitken basin itself! – In any case, the Moon is good at keeping its secrets, and researchers still haven't come to any final conclusion.
– One phenomenon has been perplexing astronomers for decades (since the 1950s, to be precise), and that's random flashes of light coming from the surface of the Moon. – Sometimes astronomers observe them several times a week, and at other times, the flashes might disappear for months. – It turns out that lunar dust is dangerous for people. Its particles are incredibly sharp, and when breathed in, they can damage the brain and lungs beyond repair! – There might be a labyrinth of lava tunnels on the Moon. Astronomers have discovered a massive cave under the lunar surface thanks to some topography data they recently got back. – The Moon is abandoning us! Every year, its orbit moves about an inch and a half away from our planet. – Despite all appearances, the Moon isn't a perfect sphere. It might look like that when you glance at it hanging up there in the night sky. But, in fact, the Moon is shaped like an egg!
– And finally, how about this: some scientists don't even agree that the Moon is Earth's satellite! – Being around one-fourth the size of our planet, the crater-pocked thing is just too big to be our moon. Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-
