"Five conspicuous mascons, each about 50 to 200 kilometers in extent and perhaps 50 kilometers below the surface, were detected under ...
'Does each of these mascons represent an asteroidal-sized body which caused its associated mare by impact?"'
GRAIL scientists found the
mascons by combining the gravity data from
By eradicating the line between fact and fiction, particular drugs called
Mascons have eroded any possibilities for sustaining the environment as well as for supporting the natural and creative mind.
The Aestuum
mascon is more pronounced than Vaporum's, perhaps indicating a thicker lava filling.

Mascons are local concentrations of mass beneath lunar basins, causing gravity anomalies.
Thanks to Lunar Prospector's gravity data, mission scientists have also discovered several new mass concentrations, or
mascons, beneath the lunar surface - four of them on the far side.
Localized concentrations of mass ("
mascons") coincided with a number of near-side basins.
This view is buttressed by the fact that Lamont lies atop a
mascon, a subsurface mass concentration.
Gravitational data from the Lunar Prospector spacecraft shows that Humboldtianum harbors a mass concentration (
mascon)--a localized gravitational anomaly that tugs on orbiting spacecraft.
But when the Lunar Orbiter spacecraft circled the Moon, Lamont's position was found to correspond to a moderate-size
mascon, a gravitational anomaly arising from a concentration of mass that perturbs spacecraft orbits.
