The Moon is not as geologically dead as we once thought
In short: New imagery from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter reveals that the Moon may still be geologically active. This video explores recent discoveries that challenge our traditional understanding of the lunar surface.
Recent lunar geological shifts are explored by Jim Green, NASA's Director of Planetary Science, alongside senior researcher Tom Watters. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) provided the striking imagery upon which these results rely.
The evidence is currently being showcased in a new exhibit at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. The discovery suggests that the Moon's surface continues to evolve in ways that were previously unexpected.
