Moon May Be Geologically Active

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the pining-for-the-fjords dept.

dptalia writes, "For decades scientist have thought that the moon has been 'dead' for about 1 to 3 billion years. However, new research points to the idea that the moon may have been volcanically active as recently as 1 million years ago. In fact, NASA geophysicist Paul Lowman believes the moon's core is still molten."

    We still know more about our moon then our own oceans
    No we don't. You just made that up. Probably motivated by some kind of anti-space exploration ethic because you believe that we should spend more time looking at our own Earth (and think of the poor children living on it!) than looking up to the sky.
