Correlation of a strong lunar magnetic anomaly with a high-albedo region of the Descartes mountains

Mapping and model simulations of Lunar Prospector magnetometer measurements show that the source of the strongest known magnetic anomaly on the lunar near side (42 nanoTeslas at 18.6 km altitude) coincides approximately with a high-albedo region of the Descartes mountains centered 60 km south-southe...
