科学家发现了1,114个新的月球脊,证明了最近的构造活动,并给Artemis飞行任务带来月震风险。
Scientists found 1,114 new Moon ridges, proving recent tectonic activity and posing moonquake risks for Artemis missions.
斯密森科学家查明了月球上1 114个新的小马脊,使总数达到2 634个,平均年龄为1.24亿。
Smithsonian scientists have identified 1,114 new small mare ridges on the Moon, bringing the total to 2,634, with an average age of 124 million years.
这些特征由月球冷却时不断收缩所形成,表明最近的构造活动以及与叶浆疤共有的起源。
These features, formed by the Moon’s ongoing contraction as it cools, indicate recent tectonic activity and a shared origin with lobate scarps.
调查结果证实,月球在地质上仍然活跃,未来阿耳特弥斯飞行任务的马里亚-关键地区可能发生月震风险,突出表明在选址和任务规划中需要考虑到地震危害。
The findings confirm the Moon is still geologically active, with potential moonquake risks in the maria—key areas for future Artemis missions—highlighting the need to account for seismic hazards in site selection and mission planning.
