SPRINGERBRIEFS IN ASTRONOMY THE MOONS NEAR SI...

Since Luna and Lunar Orbiter photographed the far side of the Moon  the mysterious dichotomy
between the face of the Moon as we see it from Earth and the side of the Moon that is hidden
has puzzled lunar scientists. As we learned more from the Apollo sample return missions and
later robotic satellites  the puzzle literally deepened  showing asymmetry of the crust and
mantle  all the way to the core of the Moon. This book summarizes the author's successful
search for an ancient impact feature  the Near Side Megabasin of the Moon and the extensions to
impact theory needed to find it. The implications of this ancient event are developed to answer
many of the questions about the history of the Moon.
