Good morning Okanagan! Let鈥檚 get your long weekend started!
Fun Fact: Much like the Earth has earthquakes, the moon has moonquakes.
Moonquakes occur when meteoroids hit the surface and when the Earth鈥檚 gravitational pull squeezes and stretches the moon, similar to the moon鈥檚 pull on Earth鈥檚 oceans. Moonquakes occur roughly every 27 days.
