TL;DR: Farside Explorer as discussed by the authors is a medium-size mission to the farside of the Moon consisting of two landers and an instrumented relay satellite, which is a unique scientific platform in that it is shielded from terrestrial radio-frequency interference, it can be continuously monitored from the Earth-Moon L2 Lagrange point, and there is a complete lack of reflected solar illumination from Earth.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors modeled numerically the entire evolution of basin formation from impact to contemporary form and showed that during the major basin-forming era, the preimpact crust and mantle were sufficiently weak to enable a crustal cap to flow back over and cover the mantle exposed by the impact within hours.

TL;DR: In this article, a new method of interpreting geoid to topography ratios (GTRs) on a sphere is presented, in which it is shown that the GTR is equivalent to a sum of spectrally weighted degree-dependent admittances.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of the seismic data available from four sets of experiments on the Moon: the Passive Seismic Experiments, the Active Seismics Experiments (ESE), the Lunar SEismic Profiling Experiment (LSPE), and the Lunar Surface Gravimeter.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the Bouguer anomaly (BA) of ~1200 complex craters in the lunar highlands from Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory observations, showing that the BA of these craters is generally negative, though positive BA values are observed for smaller craters.
