Free-Air Gravity Map of Moon's Southern Latitudes by GRAIL Mission Image

This detailed gravity map of the Moon’s southern latitudes, created by the GRAIL mission, showcases variations in gravitational force on the lunar surface. Purple areas signify lower gravity, while red areas indicate high, demonstrating the uneven distribution of mass beneath the Moon’s surface, particularly around prominent features like the Schrödinger basin. The image is derived from data by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and highlights topographic and gravitational correspondence. Useful for educational materials, scientific publications, and space exploration articles.
