The moon may still be geologically active, judging from the way the lunar far side is wrinkling as the moon contracts. At least, that's what planetary scientists who have discovered 266 lunar "wrinkle ...

Scientists have studied the moon's surface for decades to help piece together its complex geological and evolutionary history. Evidence from the lunar maria (dark, flat areas on the moon filled with ...

The familiar gray disk in our sky has long been framed as a fossil world, frozen in time since the early days of the solar system. A growing body of evidence now paints a very different picture, one ...

Scientists have identified volcanic glass beads in lunar soil samples, indicating that volcanic activity continued on the Moon as recently as 123 million years ago. This finding, available on Science, ...

New images from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft show the Moon’s crust is being stretched, forming minute valleys in a few small areas on the lunar surface. Scientists propose this ...

Volcanoes were erupting on the moon as recently as 120 million years ago, evidence collected by a Chinese spacecraft suggests. Until the last few years, scientists had thought volcanic activity ended ...

Did the Moon’s geological activity stop billions of years ago after it formed, or has it been active since then? This is what a recent study published in The Planetary Science Journal hopes to address ...

Signs of volcanic activity on the Moon can be viewed simply by looking up at the night-time sky: The large, dark plains called “maria” are the product of massive outbursts of volcanic material. But ...
