The finding could explain the long-running mystery of why the surfaces of the lunar near and far sides are so different.

Anomalies in the moon’s gravitational field suggest our satellite’s insides are warmer on one side than the other – which ...

An exhaustive examination of lunar gravity using data obtained by two NASA robotic spacecraft is offering new clues about why the two sides of the moon - the one perpetually facing Earth and the other ...

(Adobe Stock) The Moon has gravity of its own ... When the sea level rises to its highest point, we call that high tide. When it falls to its lowest point, that's called low tide.

Dr. Janhunen may have found a solution, though. He studied the known lunar gravitational anomalies found by GRAIL. This satellite mapped the moon's gravity in great detail and found several places ...

Once it reached that altitude — still much closer than the Moon’s current distance of roughly 60 Earth radii — Earth’s gravity would have pulled and squeezed on the Moon in a constantly ...
