JOAN CARTAN-HANSEN, HOST: IS

00:08.166 --> 00:09.533 position:10% line:85% size:80%
THE MOON SHRINKING?

00:09.533 --> 00:11.066 position:10% line:85% size:80%
SCIENTISTS THOUGHT SO, BUT NEW

00:11.066 --> 00:12.633 position:10% line:85% size:80%
RESEARCH SAYS THE MOON IS ALSO

00:12.633 --> 00:14.000 position:10% line:85% size:80%
EXPANDING A LITTLE BIT.

00:14.000 --> 00:15.700 position:10% line:85% size:80%
AND THAT'S CAUSING MOONQUAKES.

00:15.700 --> 00:17.066 position:10% line:85% size:80%
WHEN THE APOLLO ASTRONAUTS

00:17.066 --> 00:18.533 position:10% line:85% size:80%
LANDED ON THE MOON, THEY LEFT

00:18.533 --> 00:19.900 position:10% line:85% size:80%
BEHIND SOME SEISMOMETERS TO

00:19.900 --> 00:21.100 position:10% line:85% size:80%
KEEP TRACK OF LUNAR

00:21.100 --> 00:22.333 position:10% line:85% size:80%
MOONQUAKES.

00:22.333 --> 00:23.700 position:10% line:85% size:80%
SCIENTISTS THOUGHT SOME

00:23.700 --> 00:25.100 position:10% line:85% size:80%
MOONQUAKES WERE CAUSED BY

00:25.100 --> 00:26.533 position:10% line:85% size:80%
IMPACTS FROM METEORITES

00:26.533 --> 00:27.900 position:10% line:85% size:80%
AND OTHERS WERE CAUSED BY THE

00:27.900 --> 00:29.333 position:10% line:85% size:80%
MOON'S SURFACE BEING WARMED

00:29.333 --> 00:30.600 position:10% line:85% size:80%
AND COOLED BY THE SUN EVERY

00:30.600 --> 00:31.533 position:10% line:85% size:80%
TWO WEEKS.

00:31.533 --> 00:33.000 position:10% line:85% size:80%
BUT THERE WERE MOONQUAKES THAT

00:33.000 --> 00:34.266 position:10% line:85% size:80%
THEY JUST COULDN'T EXPLAIN.

00:34.266 --> 00:35.433 position:10% line:85% size:80%
NOW THEY THINK THESE

00:35.433 --> 00:36.900 position:10% line:85% size:80%
MYSTERIOUS MOONQUAKES ARE

00:36.900 --> 00:38.433 position:10% line:85% size:80%
CAUSED BY A COMBINATION OF

00:38.433 --> 00:39.900 position:10% line:85% size:80%
ESCAPING INTERNAL HEAT AND THE

00:39.900 --> 00:41.533 position:10% line:85% size:80%
EARTH'S GRAVITATIONAL PULL.

00:41.533 --> 00:42.633 position:10% line:85% size:80%
THE MOON HAS A CORE, MANTLE

00:42.633 --> 00:44.533 position:10% line:85% size:80%
AND CRUST LIKE THE EARTH.

00:44.533 --> 00:45.967 position:10% line:85% size:80%
BUT PLANETARY GEOLOGISTS

00:45.967 --> 00:47.333 position:10% line:85% size:80%
THOUGHT THE MOON'S CORE HAD

00:47.333 --> 00:48.533 position:10% line:85% size:80%
ALREADY COOLED DOWN,

00:48.533 --> 00:49.700 position:10% line:85% size:80%
APPARENTLY NOT.

00:49.700 --> 00:51.100 position:10% line:85% size:80%
ITS STILL RUNNING HOT ENOUGH

00:51.100 --> 00:52.600 position:10% line:85% size:80%
TO SHAKE THINGS UP.

00:52.600 --> 00:53.867 position:10% line:85% size:80%
