As we learned more from the Apollo sample return missions and later robotic satellites, the puzzle literally deepened, showing asymmetry of the crust and mantle, all the way to the core of the Moon. This book summarizes the author?s successful search for an ancient impact feature, the Near Side Megabasin of the Moon and the extensions to impact theory needed to find it. The implications of this ancient event are developed to answer many of the questions about the history of the Moon. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Astronomy,$x2191-9100 606 $aAstronomy 607 $aMoon 615 0$aAstronomy. 676 $a523.3 700 $aByrne$b Charles J$0814128 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910741188303321 996 $aThe moon's near side megabasin and far side bulge$94192245 997 $aUNINA
