The moon may still be geologically active, judging from the way the lunar far side is wrinkling as the moon contracts. At least, that's what planetary scientists who have discovered 266 lunar "wrinkle ...

Volcanoes have erupted on the lunar surface within a geologically recent timespan, and the moon could still be volcanically active today, according to tiny glass beads in lunar dirt brought back to ...

The Moon has long been treated as a geologically dead world, a frozen relic that finished erupting billions of years ago. A wave of new data is now challenging that assumption, pointing instead to a ...

The lunar surface might not look like much at first glance, but new research published just this week in the journal Nature Geoscience suggests that the Moon is probably a lot more geologically active ...

Volcanoes were still erupting on the moon during Earth’s dinosaur age, new research suggests, much more recently than previously believed. Three tiny glass beads that were collected from the surface ...

A new analysis of Apollo-era quakes on the Moon reveal that our satellite is probably still tectonically active. Detectors laid down by Apollo astronauts half a century ago revealed small shakes on ...

"There's this assumption that the moon is long dead, but we keep finding that that's not the case." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...

The moon may still be kicking. Rumbles recorded decades ago by seismometers at Apollo landing sites are probably linked to young faults mapped by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, scientists say.

After all, you need internal heat for tectonic activity, and small rocky worlds like the moon are thought to cool much more rapidly than larger ones like Earth. But now, fresh analysis of Apollo-era ...

David Rothery is co-leader of the European Space Agency's Mercury Surface and Composition Working Group, and a Co-Investigator on MIXS (Mercury Imaging X-ray Spectrometer) that is now on its way to ...
