The moon may still be geologically active, judging from the way the lunar far side is wrinkling as the moon contracts. At ...

A new study has uncovered evidence that the moon is still geologically active, contradicting previous beliefs that its ...

New findings indicate that the Moon is still undergoing geological changes, challenging the long-held belief that it is a geologically inactive body. In a study published in The Planetary Science ...

Scientists have long theorized that Charon formed much like Earth’s moon, which was created after a Mars-size object slammed into our planet. The impact sent molten debris from Earth flying into ...

In the new study, researchers attempted to estimate how recently the Moon was active. They did so first by identifying 266 ...

The moon likely formed from material ejected from Earth's mantle, with minimal contribution from the protoplanet Theia, as indicated by the high isotopic similarity of oxygen-17 between Earth and ...

As per a release, for decades, scientists have theorised that Pluto's unusually large moon Charon formed through a process similar to Earth's moon-a massive collision followed by the stretching ...
