Apollo-era moonquakes reveal that the moon may be tectonically active
Scientists linked the seismic recordings with a NASA orbiter’s data on surface faults
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.

The moon may still be kicking.
Rumbles recorded decades ago by seismometers at Apollo landing sites are probably linked to young faults mapped by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, scientists say.
