Summary

Description
English: A gravity map of the moon made by the Lunar Prospector spacecraft in 1998-99. Mascons are shown in orange-red. The five largest all correspond to the largest lava-filled craters or lunar "seas" visible in binoculars on the near side of the Moon: Mare Imbrium, Mare Serenitatus, Mare Crisium, Mare Humorum and Mare Nectaris. (Vertical acceleration at the lunar surface for the LP165P gravity field. Accelerations are the radial component at the lunar reference sphere with radius 1738.0 km.) Image reference: Alex S. Konopliv et al, Icarus 150, 1-18 (2001), doi:10.1006/icar.2000.6573
