A study from Caltech suggests deploying distributed acoustic sensing on the Moon to detect lunar quakes with greater precision than conventional seismometers.
Our moon has been shrinking for hundreds of millions of years. This could become a problem for a potential site that NASA has had its eyes on for a future manned mission to the Moon.
As the moon's core gradually cools and shrinks, its surface develops creases that create "moonquakes" that can last for hours, as well as landslides, NASA says.
