Since Luna and Lunar Orbiter photographed the far side of the Moon,
the mysterious dichotomy between the face of the Moon as we see it
from Earth and the side of the Moon that is hidden has puzzled
lunar scientists. As we learned more from the Apollo sample return
missions and later robotic satellites, the puzzle literally
deepened, showing asymmetry of the crust and mantle, all the way to
the core of the Moon. This book summarizes the author's successful
search for an ancient impact feature, the Near Side Megabasin of
the Moon and the extensions to impact theory needed to find it. The
implications of this ancient event are developed to answer many of
the questions about the history of the Moon.
