<b>Composition of the Moon's Crust</b><br /><br />--- New empirical calibrations of Lunar Prospector and Clementine data yield improved global maps of Th, K, and FeO. The movie of the Moon, shown to the right, consists of compositional data for Th, K, FeO, and the Clementine 750 nm albedo image played in that order. <br />(Courtesy of J.J.
