Focusing on a powerful magnet that scientists had attached to one of the spacecraft's footpads, the camera transmitted pictures of a thin layer of dust-kicked up in the landing-on the magnet. By comparing these shots with control pictures made on earth, where dirt with known percentages of iron filings had been scattered on a magnet, the scientists established the presence of iron compounds...

Such flow, they say, could emerge only from a lunar interior that was-and could still be-hot and molten.
