So, the Moon is actually shrinking a bit, which might sound kind of alarming at first. But don't worry, Earth isn't in any danger because of this lunar shrinkage. This process causes some moonquakes and surface cracks, which are pretty fascinating to study. Think of it like a raisin – as the Moon cools down, it wrinkles and contracts a bit. It’s a natural process that has been happening for a long, long time. These moonquakes are nowhere near as powerful as the earthquakes we experience here on Earth, so they’re not really a threat. But will it change in the future?
