New Study Finds Active Lunar Tectonics, Challenges Moon’s Dormancy
A recent study published in The Planetary Science Journal reveals that the moon is still experiencing tectonic activity. Scientists identified 266 small ridges on the far side of the moon, formed within the last 160 to 200 million years. The study suggests these ridges result from geological forces like lunar shrinking and orbital shifts. The findi...

Earth's Gravitational Pull Is 'Massaging' the Shrinking Moon
Globally distributed faults on the Moon are being influenced by gravitational tidal forces from Earth as the moon shrinks.

Earth's Gravitational Pull Shrinking the Moon: NASA
Earth's gravity has influenced the orientation of thousands of faults that form in the lunar surface as the Moon shrinks, NASA has revealed.

The Moon is shrinking but won't disappear anytime soon, say scientists
New research by scientists suggests the moon may be shrinking, but it will not be disappearing any time soon.The research indicates cracks in the moon's crust that have formed as the interior has cooled and shrunk over the last billion years or so. That means the surface has shrunk, too, though not so you'd notice just from gazing at it.Scientists ...
