Space.comの最近の記事によると、科学者の間で「月の人類新世」の概念が提案されている。月における人間の活動が自然史において重要な役割を果たす可能性がある。地球の人類新世とは異なり、

月の人類新世は地球の生態系に攻撃を加えることなく、死んだ場所に人生をもたらす。月の将来についての議論が重要で、各国が協力して基準を設けることが求められる。 #Space #LunarAnthropocene #SpaceExploration

Welcome to the #LunarAnthropocene.

"We argue the Lunar #Anthropocene already has commenced, but we want to prevent massive damage or a delay of its recognition until we can measure a significant lunar halo caused by human activities, which would be too late."

Humans are changing the moon's surface so much it's entered a new geological era.

If we start something, we're really pulling it off. Introducing: The #LunarAnthropocene. 🌖👣

Humans are changing the moon's surface so much it's entered a new geological era, scientists say

Researchers hope their proposal of declaring a new geological era on the moon — the Lunar Anthropocene — will encourage discussion around human impact and help preserve important cultural artifacts such as footprints and rover tracks.

"The concept of a Lunar Anthropocene aims to raise awareness and contemplation regarding our impact on the lunar surface, as well as our influence on the preservation of historical artifacts."

The moon has been altered by human activity. Are we in a 'Lunar Anthropocene?'

"We argue the Lunar Anthropocene already has commenced, but we want to prevent massive damage or a delay of its recognition."

Scholars say it's time to declare a new epoch on the moon, the 'Lunar Anthropocene'

"Our goal is to dispel the lunar-static myth and emphasize the importance of our impact, not only in the past but ongoing and in the future. We aim to initiate discussions about our impact on the lunar surface before it's too late."

Scholars say it's time to declare a new epoch on the moon, the 'Lunar Anthropocene'

Human beings first disturbed moon dust on Sept. 13, 1959, when the USSR's unmanned spacecraft Luna 2 alighted on the lunar surface. In the following decades, more than a hundred other spacecraft have touched the moon—both crewed and uncrewed, sometimes landing and sometimes crashing. The most famous of these were NASA's Apollo Lunar Modules, which transported humans to the moon's surface to the astonishment of humankind.
