Researchers have uncovered more than a thousand previously unknown tectonic ridges across the Moon’s dark plains, showing the ...

Researchers have studied structures in the lunar maria that indicate earthquakes. These could also affect manned missions.

Scientists from the Center for Earth and Planetary Studies at the National Aviation and Space Museum of the United States have found that the Moon continues to shrink as its interior cools. This leads ...

Scientists have mapped thousands of young tectonic ridges across the Moon, showing it is still slowly shrinking. These ridges may mark previously unknown sources of moonquakes.

The Moon, long treated as a geologically inert relic, is still contracting and cracking. A growing body of peer-reviewed research now confirms that tectonic faulting on the lunar surface has occurred ...

Scientists have produced the first global map and analysis of small mare ridges (SMRs) on the moon, a characteristic geological feature of tectonic activity. Published in The Planetary Science Journal ...

New research confirms the Moon is shrinking. Studies have uncovered over a thousand previously unknown tectonic ridges across our celestial neighbour’s surface that show it is contracting. The find ...
