Episode Details

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! 😆)
