Gravity Field of the Moon overlaid with terrain map 

nikoleta atanasova Thanks for the helpful comment *roll's eye's* For those interested www.space.com/21364-moon-gravity-mascons-mystery.html

Kronguard There are several spots on the moon where the impact was so great that it actually raised the land where the meteorite hit.

***** That and some of the larger impacts delivered denser rock. ( just a guess).

Pharozos That's true too. The same happens here on Earth.

Kronguard On Earth, gravity is strongest at the outer edge of the mantle. Even though you have slightly less matter pulling you down and a little pulling you up, you're closer to the really dense stuff inside the Earth which makes a bigger difference. I'm not sure if the moon is significantly denser on the inside, but it could explain this.

What's wrong with this one? Just because it's completely spherical (or appears that way) doesn't detract from where we can see craters, plains, and hills.

DantehMan No need to be gun-ho about it. There's nothing wrong per say with it. The only thing is it's incomplete. It can be improved. And if he's willing to pour a bit more work in to it this can be a very good educational tool. Also, not to detract from the value of his work but, as it is now, being incomplete, the wrong conclusions are being extracted from it. Let's take an example: If you were a doctor and two men walked in your office. One bloated(artificially) and one normal. Which do you think you could diagnose for cracked ribs, better, only by using your sense of touch? Hopefully you understood where i'm getting at. If not, such is life.

aserta Are you really comparing something as serious as a medical diagnosis to a private hobby project of a science enthusiast? It's already a good educational tool. That's like saying a globe with no striations or embossed surfaces isn't a good educational tool. You're nitpicking a detail that nobody else is criticizing because nobody is having any trouble understanding it.

DantehMan Eh. Trolls... Sigh, i wasn't nitpicking, it was an extrapolation, you're obnoxious, get over it. You're boring. Bye, bye.

aserta lol, did you really wait to respond after two months? And you're saying I'm boring?

oops

yeti dynamics a billion thanks Yeti.

Zach Gunem it' actually simple.

Measure of gravity in m/s2, red means strong gravitt

@@FootLettuce Ok, understood. I noticed that there are craters with a high gravity rate, and others that are not.
