Scientific paper

Goldreich (1967) showed that a lunar core of low viscosity would not
precess with the mantle. We show that this is also the case for much of
lunar history. But when the Moon was close to the Earth, the core
followed the mantle. The transition occurred between 26.0 and 29.0 Earth
radii.
