Thermal asymmetry in the Moon’s mantle inferred from monthly tidal response

Nature, Published online: 14 May 2025; doi:10.1038/s41586-025-08949-5Data from the NASA GRAIL spacecraft recover the lunar gravity field suggesting preservation of a predominantly thermal anomaly in the nearside mantle, which could influence the spatial distribution of deep moonquakes.
