'Moon is shrinking': What it means for astronauts, lunar missions

New research reveals Moon's shrinking due to cooling interior, causing the surface to wrinkle into thrust faults. These faults are evidence of an active tectonic system, contradicting previous assumptions. Moon's ongoing activity poses seismic hazards, impacting future lunar explorations and missions. Understanding moonquakes and tectonic features is crucial for safety and planning of lunar bases.
