Data from the U.S. space agency's GRAIL mission indicates that the moon's deep interior has an asymmetrical structure.

The lunar nearside flexes slightly more than the farside during its elliptical orbit around Earth thanks to our planet's gravitational influence.

This indicates differences in the two sides of the lunar interior, specifically in the geological layer called the mantle.
