NASA Scientist Reveals the Moon is Shrinking, Here’s the Impact on Humans

"NASA Scientists Reveal the Moon is Shrinking, Here’s the Impact on Humans"

"Dream - A recent study reveals that the Moon's core is gradually cooling and shrinking. A study published in the Planetary Science Journal on January 25 found that the Moon's circumference has shrunk by more than 150 feet. A team of scientists from NASA, Smithsonian, Arizona State University, and The University of Maryland found evidence of the Moon's core cooling gradually over hundreds of millions of years."

This cooling continues to cause several surface changes around the South Pole of the Moon. The landing site for the crewed Artemis III mission has even changed.

The translation of "Mirip dengan Buah Anggur" to English is "Similar to Grapes".

According to Populer Science, the process of the moon shrinking this month is similar to the process of a wrinkled grape. The moon also wrinkles as it shrinks.

The translation of "Patahan Kerak Bulan" to English is "Lunar Crust Fragments".

"However, grapes have a flexible skin, while the moon has a fragile surface. Fragility causes fractures to form where the crustal parts push against each other."

The translation of "Gempa Bumi" to English is "Earthquake".

"As a result of this subsidence, faults have formed accompanied by seismic activity such as earthquakes. Any location near the fault zone on the Moon this month could pose a threat to human exploration there. Just like those living near fault lines on Earth face a greater risk of earthquakes. In the study, the team linked a group of faults in the Moon's southern polar region with the massive moonquakes recorded by Apollo seismometers over 50 years ago."

"They used computer models to simulate the stability of surface slopes and identify areas vulnerable to landslides. "Our modeling shows that shallow moonquakes capable of producing strong ground shaking in the polar regions may occur due to slip events on existing faults or the formation of new thrust faults," said Thomas R. Watters, co-author of the study and senior emeritus scientist at the Air and Space Museum."

The translation of "Durasi Gempa" to English is "Duration of Earthquake".

"Shallow moonquakes occur about 100 miles deep within the moon's crust. Unlike earthquakes that last only a few seconds or minutes, shallow moonquakes can last for an entire afternoon."

"Currently, researchers will continue to map seismic activity on the moon, hoping to find more locations that may be hazardous for human exploration. NASA's Artemis mission is currently scheduled to launch its first crewed flight in September 2025, with a crewed landing on the moon scheduled for September 2026."

"Saat kita semakin dekat dengan tanggal peluncuran misi berawak Artemis, penting untuk menjaga astronot, peralatan, dan infrastruktur kita seaman mungkin." translates to: "As we get closer to the launch date of the crewed Artemis mission, it is important to keep our astronauts, equipment, and infrastructure as safe as possible."
said the study co-author and geologist at the University of Maryland, Nicholas Schmerr.

"This work helps us prepare for what awaits us on the Moon, whether it's engineering structures that can better withstand lunar seismic activity or protecting humans from highly hazardous zones,"

The translation of "pungkasnya." to English is "finally."
