What can a moon’s tidal friction teach us about its formation and evolution? This is what a recent study published in Science Advances hopes to address as a team of researchers at the University of ...

Our Moon is slowly drifting away from Earth, not just due to tidal friction as previously thought. New research suggests ancient planetary impacts and Earth's internal cooling, causing contraction and ...
