The #Moon is still #shrinking and it could #trigger more #moonquakes

Scientists mapped 2,634 small mare ridges, proving the shrinking Moon is still tectonically active. These young ridges are new potential sources for moonquakes. scitechupdates.com/t...

🌑⚠️ The Moon Is Cracking ⚠️🌑

New mapping shows thousands of young lunar faults cutting through the maria. Some deform fresh craters, confirming recent movement. These shallow structures can generate strong moonquakes that matter for future landers and habitats.

#MoonQuakes

A Massive Asteroid Might Slam Into the Moon in 2032. That’s Actually Pretty Exciting There's no danger to us, and it could be a rare phenomenon.

Moonquakes Trigger Fresh Lunar Landslides, Study Finds

Scientists identified 41 fresh lunar landslides between 2009 and 2024, each up to half a mile long, suggesting active moonquakes are reshaping the Moon’s surface. Read more: getnews.me/moonquakes-trigger-fresh... #moonquakes #lunarlandslides #moon

Moonquakes Will Pose Risks To Long-term Lunar Base Structures Our Moon is a seismically active world and its long history of quakes could affect the safety of permanent base structures there. That's one conclusion from a study of quakes along the Lee-Lincoln fault...

Seismic activity on the moon could pose risk to long-term lunar infrastructure A new paper reveals that ground acceleration from moonquakes, rather than meteor impacts, was responsible for shifting lunar landscapes at the moon's Taurus-Littrow valley, where Apollo 17 astronauts landed in 1972. The study also pinpointed a possible cause for those surface changes and assessed damage risk using new models of the quakes—findings that may impact the safety of future lunar missions and the establishment of long-term bases on the moon.

🤯The Moon isn't still! New research reveals moonquakes—not meteors—reshaped Apollo 17’s landing site! 🌙 Could these lunar tremors impact future missions & bases? #Moonquakes

#PhotoOfTheDay: #Moonquakes Surprisingly Common

Analyses of seismometers left on the moon during the Apollo moon landings reveal a surprising number of moonquakes.

Pictured here, Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin stands beside a recently deployed lunar seismometer.

Finally, some excitement about moonquakes. I've been here for eons, and you're just now noticing my rumblings? Better late than never, I suppose. #MoonQuakes #BeenHereForever
