Moon_Quakes-Aldrin_and_Seismometer-Apollo_11.jpgMoon Quakes?148 visiteLunamoti? Eventi inesistenti o, nella migliore delle ipotesi, "eventi residuali". Questa la posizione ufficiale NASA sino a pochissimo tempo fa.
Poi, nella rubrica "NASA - Picture of the Day" del giorno 10 Ottobre 2010, ecco che i Moonquakes vengono definiti come eventi "surprisingly common" (la traduzione non serve...).
E meno male che la NASA è sempre chiara, coerente e cristallina...
"Why are there so many moonquakes?
A recent reanalysis of seismometers left on the Moon by the Apollo Moon Landings has revealed a surprising number of Moonquakes occurring within 30 Km of the Surface. In fact, 28 Moonquakes were detected in data recorded between 1972 and 1977. These Moonquakes were not only strong enough to move furniture but the stiff rock of the Moon continued vibrating for many minutes, significantly longer than the soft rock Earthquakes on Earth.
The cause of the Moonquakes remains unknown, with one hypothesis holding that Landslides in Craters cause the vibrations. Regardless of the source, future Moon buildings need to be built to withstand the frequent shakings.
Pictured above in 1969, Apollo 11 Astronaut Buzz Aldrin stands beside a recently deployed Lunar Seismometer, looking back toward the Lunar Landing Module".
Dunque, se ho capito bene, i dati raccolti sono stati rivisitati (con quarant'anni di ritardo...) ed è stato scoperto che i Lunamoti ci sono, eccome, ma non dovrebbero esserci. Perchè la Luna, ovviamente, è un Astro "geologicamente defunto". Si, questa posizione è molto simile a quella assunta dalla NASA stessa a proposito dell'Evento Della Torre.
"...Si, c'è stato. Però non può essere dipeso da nessuna causa conosciuta e/od ipotizzabile. Dunque non c'è stato...".
Pubblicheremo (prestissimo) la corrispondenza NASA laddove la summenzionata (pseudo)"posizione" viene presa ed esplicitata. E poi qualcuno si offende se si pensa che, forse, l'Ente Spaziale più ricco, preparato e potente al Mondo, potrebbe nascondere qualcosa...

APOLLO 17 AS 17-3125.jpgAS 17-3125 - Rimless crater58 visiteThe very young rimless crater near the center of this picture is located near the area where Oceanus Procellarum and Mare Imbrium join. The crater apparently formed in regolith-covered mare basalt. It differs from lunar impact craters of comparable size and age by its lack of a raised rim, surrounding ejecta deposit, or associated secondary impact craters. In addition, its interior walls do not show the steep slopes with craggy outcrops of rock in their upper parts, nor the streams of debris-avalanche deposits and talus that are usually seen in the walls of impact craters of comparable age and size.
Judging from the clear and sharply formed pattern of concentrically curved grooves and scarps that surround the hole, the material near this depression has apparently subsided into a subsurface void. Because of the extreme rarity and inferred short lifetime of steep slopes on the Moon, the latest subsidence must have taken place very recently, after most of the 50- to 300- m diameter craters that densely pepper the nearby mare surface were formed. Movement of the regolithic debris layer during subsidence apparently smoothed out most, if not all, of the craters that must have existed near the depression. Now the depression is surrounded by low, curved fault scarps and narrow, curved grooves that may be fault troughs (grabens) or may represent drainage of regolithic debris into cracks that opened in the underlying sagging basalt rock. The few craters that have formed on the subsided surface compare in density to the craters formed on the cluster (arrow) of Aristarchus secondary impact craters and associated herring- bone ridges; comparable ages for the Aristarchus secondary features and the depression are thus indicated. The subsidence was triggered either by the ground shock or seismic wavetrain generated when Aristarchus was formed 300 km to the west, or by the impacts of the secondary features.
The subdued depression in the upper left may be a similar older feature that was flooded by a later lava flow that now covers the area. The density of craters within the depression and the density on the surrounding lava are comparable. Alternatively, the subsidence there may have been incomplete; however, there is no sign that this subsidence is as young as that in the deeper crater
