The Moon might not be as dead as it looks. Researchers using NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter have found signs of geologically-recent volcanic eruptions on Earth's natural satellite.

how freaking cool would it be to look up at the moon every other night or so and see volcanic eruptions to the naked eye.
Those Dinosaurs sure had quite a show back then...
Too bad they didn't have the clarity of vision to appreciate it.
aserta Like a tiny speck of light, at most like another star, but on the moon.
Skeletor Jopko Did some rough guesstimates, and it's almost invisible, well, at the 500m mark.
Skeletor Jopko the muslim crescent with a star inside oddly reminds of me of that idea maybe they got that idea from there in a some recent lunar volcanic eruption at their time
Can I go on the mission, to hand the bloke his temperature meter? Honestly I don't mind, I'm sure I could find workarounds on my schedule.
Amazing that there were volcanoes so recent on the moon.
Could the moon not be gaining heat from tidal flex such as on Europa? It seems that would definitely be enough for volcanic activity even if the core is completely cold..just a thought...anybody else have any thoughts on this?
***** True, it's not elliptical enough, but it's anisotropy, leading to the tidal lock that keeps about 41 percent of its surface out of view Earthside points to some imbalances under differentiated tug, especially if it continues to cool.
I'd say no, off the top of my head. As the previous two commentators mentioned the orbit is indeed important but there's also the mass of Jupiter in discussion.
I'm not 100% certain but by size and mass, Terra can't replicate the conditions with the current conditions.
IMO the core's heat might come from the same source that powers our own, just not enough to make a huge difference. Tho really all of this is speculation without some equipment on the ground even the guys who know all there is to know about the Moon are flying blind, look at the accepted version, it's written by them and the discovery of these sites has thrown a wrench in the accepted model.
aserta thanks for the input! My thinking was by looking at the effect the Moon has on the tides i would think the Earth should at least flex the Moon slightly
Magnificent ...
Magnifico, Bravo!!!!!! Tanks
Could there be a underground see there
I remember it as if it were yesterday
And gasses could be volcanic or radiogenic; therefore, it would be great to have a landing mission to one of these these exciting sites in the near future
very cool
Excelente reportagem. Boa noite.
Why NASA resist so much to explain geological formation as a result of electrical discharge in space?
By "young" it means million years old, I thought it was erupted like 10.000 years ago.
WTF you got to be kidding me Volcanoes LOL LOL
too cool, I bet a curiosity class probe to the moon would cost less then 10 percent of the one sent to mars....especially if they send more than one.....looks like there is a lot more to be discovered on the moon.....
I agree -- "only three days away, let's go!" If you need a middle-aged female writer to go along to the moon, give me a call!
Looks like some thing flat landed there,lol
It makes sense there would be volcanoes on the moon, look at our planet's gravity compared to the size of the moon.
It's not the same as with Europa and Jupiter so i wouldn't put my bet on that. More along the way of a similar core as our own. We are a bit of an oddity in our solar system.
I'm not sure if it still is a circulating thing at this point what with all the new discoveries as of late both with our planet and it's satellite but there was that discussion of a core injection that occurred during the impact. If that is still a valid topic then one, could assume that the core may still be hot at depth, sparking occasional eruptions.
It's a hard topic, mainly because anything at this point is speculation. We'd need tools on the ground to really have the key points. The video doesn't do justice on how big the find was and how it shook up the community.
It's like finding that an old relative is still alive somewhere in Bahamas with the family's fortune or something.
Yes, I concur, all of that makes sense to me, and yes, it is speculation, still it is a relevant and compelling amount of information - I think it is very cool. Thanks for explaining this to me.
Well these really look like the "etched" volcanic "lava lakes" of IO. And, guess what? The IO "volcanoes" aren't volcanoes, either. They are the etched surface from ion tubes. Sarah, can you try a model of electrification for these processes vice volcanic?
Gee, maybe the moon isn't billions of years old......
Why has man not returned to the moon?
It costs way too much money
Or something else...
***** It is possible now, but it's too expensive. The world has realized that there are problems more important than landing on the moon for the sake of winning a cold war.
After Apollo 17 the authorities decided that it was too dangerous to continue with the missions. They very nearly lost 3 men on Apollo 13, and there was a chance that they could have lost men from the other missions too. For example, if the ascent engines on the lunar module had failed they would have been stranded on the moon .. until their oxygen ran out. Also, if the command/service module engines failed they would have been orbiting the moon until their oxygen ran out. There was absolutely zero chance of getting rescued. ...... This is the reason why no humans (from any country!) have been back to the moon. It will remain too dangerous until it becomes possible to rescue stranded astronauts.
***** Because that would be reckless.

2:40 i see karbonite
Thanks for clarifying how the antarctic can increase in ice while the arctic is decreasing. All I have been hearing is that this unexplained phenomenon is proof of that the earth is not heating. Finally, I can offer an argument that makes sense in support of climate change.
Electrical scarring.
moon has atmosphere and can be verified buy eye sight
That means it's not a rock...
I always was told that the moon is a very dead rock..
I'm an engineer of chem, phys. & so on. I am confused now.. :(
I'm shocked, it seems like I've been cheated by all my university studies..
Nice it would be if it's possible to measure the temperature or something in the moon kernel
Vasco Rosso Hi! nothing to worry: its still a rock i.e. solidified magma. The relevant questions are how they formed and when did they form? There are several hypothesis for their formation and one of these is eruption of basaltic magma - now solidified rock. In this new paper crater counting has revealed that they are quite young i.e. ~100 m.y or less
SPACE BABY'S ABOUT TO HATCH!!! #DoctorWho
Funny how we call the "facts" we like "science" while the "facts" we do not like are just ignored! If you have to ask what facts are being ignored you will not understand the answer!

publish main scientific points of your secret service recording of me and let the rest of the world to re-invent the wheel. what you have been doing past 40 years. the problem is you don't know what bit of your statements is correct and what part is rubbish. that make all rubbish. good pictures. MG1
