MOON SOUNDS NASA’s Apollo missions installed four solar-powered seismometers on the moon. Moonquakes recorded during those missions have now been linked to faults scattered across the lunar surface.

Our moon may have once been as hellish as Jupiter's super volcanic moon Io; ... Seismometers at four Apollo landing sites on the moon recorded 28 shallow moonquakes between 1969 and 1977, ...

The interior of the moon has been cooling and as a result, has gotten about 150 feet "skinnier " over the past several hundred million years — leading to a phenomenon known as "moonquakes," NASA ...

The moon has gotten about 150 feet skinnier over the last few hundred million years. NASA posted a video on Twitter showing fault lines on the moon’s surface. You've heard of earthquakes.

The moon has been slowly shrinking for millions of years. Now, as Artemis 3 nears its 2026 launch date, geologists worry about whether moonquakes and lunar landslides will impact landing.

As the moon cools and gets smaller, its crust becomes brittle and breaks up: a bit like what happens to a grape as it dries out to become a raisin. Those breaks in the surface produce thrust faults.

According to a new study, the moon has gradually been getting smaller. And as it shrinks, cracks form on the lunar surface that then form fault lines and generate moonquakes.

NASA says that Earth’s moon has shrunk by about 150 feet over the course of the last several hundred million years, and that this could be causing strong "moonquakes." ...

The moon may look serene and unchanging from a distance. But we’ve known for years that it’s slowly shrinking, and a surprising new study suggests the change may be triggering seismic activity.

A study funded by NASA is ringing an alarm bell: As the moon's core gradually cools and shrinks, its surface develops creases that create "moonquakes" that can last for hours, as well as landslides.
