BELOW THE CRUST OF THE MOON there are concentrations of dense material as large as a city, say two scientists, Mr W. L. Sjogren (left) and Mr P. M. Muller, of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at Pasadena, California. The location is shown on a lunar globe. The scientists say that the concentrations show the moon to be a “raisin bread” structure of varying densities rather than a homogeneous unit. The concentrations were discovered by analysing spacecraft acceleration data from Lunar Orbiter 5, a model of which hangs in front of the globe.
