Lunar MasconsLarge positive anomalies have been discovered in the moon's gravitational field. The concept of mascons as the source of these anomalies was reviewed. Ideas set forth in the literature and related in some manner to mascons are summarized. Lunar structure and evolution are emphasized and it is concluded that more detailed studies of the moon by spacecraft are needed to solve remaining uncertainties.
