GRAIL gravity map of the Moon

GRAIL gravity map of the Moon
GRAIL gravity map of the Moon Gravity field of the Moon as measured by NASA’s GRAIL mission. The far side of the Moon is in the center and the nearside is on either end. Reds correspond to mass excesses which create areas of higher local gravity, and blues correspond to mass deficits which create areas of lower local gravity. NASA / JPL-Caltech / GSFC / MIT
