Domain-specific¶
- Isostasy
- Lunar mascons are mass concentrations whose gravity signature shows the load is under-compensated, implying a rigid, cold lithosphere
This sourceThe discovery paper — Lunar Orbiter tracking revealing large mass concentrations beneath the ringed maria; the reading of these as uncompensated loads implying a rigid lithosphere is the later interpretation, not this paper's own statement.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
