Scientific paper

A large avalanche (21 square kilometers) at the Apollo 17 landing site
moved out several kilometers over flat ground beyond its source slope.
If not triggered by impacts, then it was as "efficient" as terrestrial
avalanches attributed to air-cushion sliding. Evidently lunar avalanches
are able to flow despite the lack of lubricating or cushioning fluid.
