Exclamation The Moon is Shrinking
This in from NASA

Quote:
NASA's LRO Reveals 'Incredible Shrinking Moon'
08.19.10

Newly discovered cliffs in the lunar crust indicate the moon shrank globally in the geologically recent past and might still be shrinking today, according to a team analyzing new images from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft. The results provide important clues to the moon's recent geologic and tectonic evolution.

The moon formed in a chaotic environment of intense bombardment by asteroids and meteors. These collisions, along with the decay of radioactive elements, made the moon hot. The moon cooled off as it aged, and scientists have long thought the moon shrank over time as it cooled, especially in its early history. The new research reveals relatively recent tectonic activity connected to the long-lived cooling and associated contraction of the lunar interior.

I'm guessing by "geologically recent" they mean a couple of hundred million years ago.

Exactly. And in the phrase "...and might still be shrinking today", the operative word is "might".
