A shrinking moon is causing moonquakes and faults near the lunar south pole, data from a NASA-funded study shows. The study, published Thursday in the Planetary Science Journal, took a closer look ...
As humanity sets its sights on the Moon, the establishment of long-term habitats has become a focal point for both the United States and China. The Artemis Basecamp, spearheaded by NASA, and the ...
Moonquakes, akin to earthquakes, result from internal movements within the Moon, primarily driven by temperature changes and meteorite impacts, rather than tectonic plate shifts due to the moon's ...
Powerful moonquakes recorded by Apollo seismometers over half a century ago have been linked to fault lines and landslides near the Moon's south pole. The findings, as detailed in a new paper ...

What If You Cut the Moon in Half?
While it may look like we have a full Moon up there, what if the other half broke off? Are we doomed? What causes moonquakes? What would happen if half of our Moon drifted away? Has the Moon already ...
Unlike earthquakes on Earth, which endure only for a few seconds, shallow Moonquakes delve about 100 miles into the Moon's crust and can persist for hours or even an entire afternoon. 'India's ...
Researchers from NASA and the California Institute of Technology reanalyzed data on tiny moonquakes, which was gathered in the 1970s by astronauts from the Apollo 17 mission. They discovered that ...
The moon's interior is cooling, and its brittle crust is cracking, creating "thrust faults" where one piece slides over another, which can trigger moonquakes. That was all common knowledge in the ...
Prof Tom Pike: "The signal had a startling similarity to what's been seen with Moonquakes" The UK high-frequency sensors are cut from silicon Dr Bruce Banerdt is Nasa's chief scientist on the ...
Then, you must worry about radiation, micrometeoroid impacts, and even moonquakes. It's not an easy problem to solve. After testing, the first lunar bricks should return to Earth for more detailed ...
The mission will focus on the lunar surface, searching for water and minerals and measuring moonquakes, among other things. India is using its most powerful rocket, the Geosynchronous Satellite ...
