In the United States there is a discussion about the duration of the Moon's existence. American scientists have conducted a study that showed that the Earth's satellite is gradually decreasing in size. This process is very slow - over the past few hundred million years, the diameter of the Moon has decreased by less than 50 metres.

Experts attribute this phenomenon to the gradual cooling of the Moon's molten core, which leads to compression of its surface. Despite this, scientists claim that these changes will not affect the Earth, as the Moon's mass remains unchanged.

However, some experts warn of a possible threat to future manned missions to the Moon due to its "shrinking". It is assumed that a significant reduction in the size of the Moon will only occur in hundreds of millions of years.

Despite various theories, American scientists continue to study this problem and are preparing for new research projects related to this space body. Their goal is to gain a more complete and detailed understanding of the state of Earth's closest satellite.
