Scientific paper

Seismometers left on the Moon by Apollo 12, 14, 15, and 16 astronauts showed that the Moon undergoes three main types of seismic activity, or moonquakes. Data collected from these instruments also allowed geologists to map the interior of the Moon. Like the Earth, the Moon has three layers (crust, mantle, and core) however, the relative size and composition of the layers are different from Earth. Furthermore, the Apollo seismology packages allowed scientists to study natural and man-made impacts and their effect on lunar seismic activity.
