Question of the Week
 |
| Pictured above is a lunar seismometer checking for moonquakes! Buzz Aldrin from the first 1969 moon landing is standing next to the seismometer. So, if the Moon does not have a molten core and real tectonic activity, what could be the cause of the moon quakes that have been detected? Keep your "creativity" in check! Also, do you see any similarities between your seismometer and the one in the picture? |
Firstly, there is an upright coil of paper for recording the waves. Also there is an upright stand on the left of the structure.
