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

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Establishing permanent settlements on the harsh moon comes with enumerable engineering challenges. Building on the moon is complicated by its dramatic temperature fluctuations (from -387 degrees ...

Dr. Wei Li received a grant from NASA to develop a platform that could overcome some of the challenges in building permanent structures in harsh, thin-atmosphere and low-gravity environments. Before ...

Along with international and commercial partners, NASA hopes that Artemis will enable a "sustained program of lunar exploration and development," which could include long-term facilities and habitats ...
