A Chinese Team Has Found Evidence Of 41 Landslides Unfolding On The Moon Itself

According to a team of Chinese researchers, moonquakes deep beneath the surface are triggering active landslides, subtly reshaping the lunar landscape in ways no one expected. The Lunar Surface Isn’t As Still As We ThoughtThe research team, made up of scientists from Sun Yat-sen University, Fuzhou University, and Shanghai Normal University, discovered 41 new lunar landslides that formed since 2009. The team spent years combing through over 500 pairs of satellite images, comparing before-and-after shots of 74 areas considered geologically unstable. Instead, the evidence points to moonquakes, or seismic activity coming from within the Moon itself. Chinese researchers have identified new landslides on the Moon that have formed since 2009.
