Earthquake Seismograms Moonquake Seismograms
Outstanding Questions • Apollo seismic data has not yet been completely used • Some moonquake nests were incorrectly classified • What is the vertical structure of the Lunar Crust? • Any discontinuity layers? • What is the composition and structure of the mantle? • Partially molten lower mantle? • What is the composition and structure of the core? • Iron core? Once have magnetic field?
Future Work • New technique in analyzing lunar seismic data. • Linear inverse or Nonlinear inverse • Whether there Is a low velocity zone in the 500km depth • Compare different models • The velocity structure in the core • Combine the composition • and the development of the core
