Missoulian: Below surface, moon reveals a"shattered" history
"What this map tells us is that more than any other
celestial body we know of, the moon wears its gravity field on its
sleeve," said GRAIL Principal Investigator Maria Zuber of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge. "When we see a notable
change in the gravity field, we can sync up this change with surface topography
features such as craters, rilles or mountains."
