Orientale impact basin. Free-air gravity map of the Moon's Orientale basin based on data from the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission, overlaid onto digital recreated terrain based on data from the LRO altimeter (LOLA) and camera (LROC) data. Orientale measures 930 kilometers wide and was created by an impact billion years ago. Red indicates areas of higher gravity, or excess mass, and blue indicates lower gravity or areas of mass deficits.
