The data indicated that the moon's near side was hotter than the far side, as the depths were more geologically active there.

Our satellite is a little off-balance. GRAIL data show a mass asymmetry of a few percent between its near and far sides.

The data from the U.S. space agency's GRAIL, or Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory, mission indicates that the moon's deep interior has an asymmetrical structure, apparently caused by ...

Analysis of data collected by the NASA Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission has shown that there is a distinct temperature difference on the closer side of the Moon.

NASA's GRAIL mission reveals new insights about the moon's asymmetrical interior. The study indicates intense ancient ...
