A region of the moon at the center of a new international space race is prone to “moonquakes,” potentially posing a threat to future human settlers, a new study says.

This effort found about 13,000 moonquakes, and the short-period data was primarily used to get more information about a quake after it had already been positively identified in the long-period data.

Scientists have found a group of faults near the moon's south pole that could pose seismic hazards for NASA's Artemis Program of lunar exploration that seeks to establish a presence in the region.

A shrinking moon is causing moonquakes and faults near the lunar south pole, data from a NASA-funded study shows. The study, published Thursday in the Planetary Science Journal, took a closer look ...

The moon’s shrinking has been measurable, but small. It has contracted about 150 feet in circumference over the last few hundred million years.

The discovery of 22,000 previously unseen moonquakes, plus a new idea of what causes them, could help us better prepare for trips there.

The Apollo 17 lunar lander module left behind by US astronauts on the moon’s surface could be causing moonquakes, or small tremors, a new study revealed.

Over the past few hundred million years, the moon has shrunk about 150 feet in circumference as its core cooled. And that is leading to moonquakes.

Faults formed by the shrinking surface may lead to powerful moonquakes that could trigger landslides and threaten lunar missions.

The installation of habitats, landing pads, equipment shelters, tall towers on the moon could be off to a shaky start.
