The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter is casting doubts on the belief that the moon is a lifeless piece of rock.
New observations from the LRO show that tectonic activity may still be going on in the moon. That means that the core of the moon may still be cooling causing it to contract, which in turn causes wrinkles on the moon’s surface. Previously, scientists believed the moon had cooled entirely and thought the last seismic activity happened about 1 billion years ago. But scientists estimate the graben — narrow, trench-like features — found by the LRO could have resulted from tectonic activity that happened 50 million years ago….”
“From birth, each of us sets out to discover who we really are. But when trauma occurs, we create ways to survive. Often, we split into pieces and abandon the most vulnerable parts of ourselves, boxing them up in tiny packages and tossing them away. Later, we spend our lives looking for these parcels, hoping to meet someone who can help us find these lost, splintered pieces of yourself.”—United States of Tara
