The fractured Moon: Production and saturation of porosity in the lunar highlands from impact cratering

We have analyzed the Bouguer anomaly (BA) of ∼1200 complex craters in the lunar highlands from Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory observations. The BA of these craters is generally negative, though positive BA values are observed, particularly for smaller craters. Crater BA values scale invers...
