Article Abstract:

The Lunar Prospector has revealed significant data indicating that the moon has a relatively small core. Mission investigators have come up with measurements of the moon's core, which could reinforce the theory that the moon was formed when a protoplanet collided with the Earth more than four billion years ago.
