On recent lunar atmosphere

Creators

Description

Two independent kinds of lunar expedition data are considered which put forward some strong theoretical evidence of the existence of a considerable atmosphere on the Moon during the greater part of its history. The transformation of a meteoritic flux when passing through an arbitrary atmosphere has been analysed and tentative estimates of the lunar atmospheric power is presented. (author)
