Moon Shrinking, New Surface Features Raise Concerns for Future Lunar Missions

The Moon is shrinking, creating over 1,000 new cracks and ridges. This geological change could affect future NASA missions like Artemis III.

The Moon is shrinking and has over 1,000 new cracks. This is a big change from what scientists thought before.

The #Starship Human Landing System could be vulnerable to ground acceleration from nearby #moonquakes that would threaten their stability. Short-term missions, such as #Apollo, were relatively low-risk, but longer-duration projects face incrementally higher exposure https://cmns.umd.edu/news-events/news/nicholas-schmerr-helps-identify-moonquake-dangers

U. of Maryland Geophysicist Helps Identify Moonquake Dangers that Could Threaten Future Missions

A new paper revealed that ground acceleration from moonquakes, rather than meteor impacts, was responsible for shifting lunar landscapes at Taurus-Littrow valley, where Apollo 17 landed in 1972.

#PhotoOfTheDay: #Moonquakes Surprisingly Common

Analyses of seismometers left on the moon during the Apollo moon landings reveal a surprising number of moonquakes occurring within 100 kilometers of the surface.

Pictured here, Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin stands beside a recently deployed lunar seismometer, looking back toward the lunar landing module.

@lienrag Sure. What kind of wacky aspects do you have in mind? That an exoquake may split the planet in half?
Recalling analyses of #moonquakes:
https://www.nasa.gov/exploration/home/15mar_moonquakes.html
and #marsquakes:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsquake
they are exceptional by 1) typically shaking longer (more scattering) and 2) more often being meteoroid impacts (thinner atmosphere).

Quite impressive: a #sunquake can reach magnitudes >11—impossible on earth.
