Chinese scientists have claimed that active landslides are occurring on the Moon. Their study detected 41 new landslides formed since 2009 by comparing 562 pairs of before-and-after images of 74 sites in the least stable areas on the lunar surface. While around 30% of the new landslides were likely triggered by new impact events, the majority were induced by moonquakes.
