Scientists are using subtle changes in gravity to reveal the hidden interiors of the Moon and asteroid Vesta. By tracking spacecraft movements, they’ve created detailed maps that uncover thermal differences on the Moon and a uniform structure inside Vesta. This method opens new doors for exploring distant worlds without landing on them.
