Scientific paper

IN a recent paper1 written before the flight of Surveyor V, I suggested that metallic iron, aluminium and magnesium may exist on the lunar surface as a result of the chemical reduction of the surface by atomic hydrogen accumulated from long bombardment by solar wind protons. The large number of hydrogen atoms available and the continuous turnover of the lunar surface layer throughout the ages led me to suggest that there is a layer a few feet thick which contains metals.
