Lecture 30: The Moon
What physical processes have shaped the Moon? In this lecture, I
describe the surface features of the Moon (the Maria and Highlands), how
crater density tells us the relative ages of terrains, and what we have
learned about Moon rocks returned by astronauts and robotic probes. I
will also discuss what is known about the interior of the Moon, and
review what we know about lunar history and formation. Like the Earth,
the Moon gives us a useful point of comparison with bodies elsewhere in
the Solar System. Recorded 2007 Nov 1 in 1000 McPherson Lab on the
Columbus campus of The Ohio State University.
