Scientific paper

The nonequilibrium figure of the moon is analyzed in conjunction with the lunar gravitational field and established lunar chronology in order to determine a reference point on the evolutionary curve of the lunar orbit. This point is found to correspond to an earth-moon distance (center to center) of 22.5 earth radii 600 million years after the moon was formed. A terrestrial rotational period of 8 to 9 hours is obtained for the same epoch. It is noted that the obtained reference point may be employed in considering problems about the origin of lunar-rock paleomagnetism.
