The moon's crust was apparently active far more recently than previously believed, scientists say. IE 11 is not supported. For an optimal experience visit our site on another browser.

A group of geologists discovered that the Moon may still be seismically active. In a new study, the geologists explained how they detected recent tectonic activity on Earth’s natural satellite.

For instance, the youngest known tectonic features on the lunar landscape until now — small cliffs in the lunar highlands resulting from wrinkling of the surface as the moon's interior cooled ...

Seismic Activity May Mean Moon Is Not Dead Yet : The Two-Way New observations show that tectonic activity may still be going on in the moon, which may mean that its core is still cooling.

Tectonic activity has been detected on the moon by researchers who have discovered a system of moving ridges topped with boulders on its near side. "There's this assumption that the moon is long ...

Seismic activity on the moon is causing it to shrink and wrinkle “like a raisin,” according to an earth-shattering new study. For the first time, scientists have connected moon-quake data to ...

The presence of the long, thin valleys—known as graben—suggests that the moon has undergone relatively recent tectonic activity, within the past 50 million years or so.

Although the Earth's crust is still shifting, driven by the churning semimolten rock underneath it, researchers had thought the moon had cooled off much too long ago to still have any such ...

Tectonic activity has been detected on the moon by researchers who have discovered a system of moving ridges topped with boulders on its near side. "There's this assumption that the moon is long ...

Saturn's second largest moon Rhea has gotten a couple of close-up looks by the Cassini spacecraft, showing dramatic views of fractures cutting through craters on the moon's surface. The new images ...

Tectonic activity is causing the moon to shrink, analysis of Nasa images shows. Moonquakes have made it about 50 metres ‘skinnier’ over the past several hundred million years; ...

A new study suggests the moon may have been active much more recently than previously thought. Moonquakes and lunar tectonic activity offer insights into the moon's history, new study says.
