The idea is to get a very accurate picture of the locations of the centers-of-gravity of both objects, and the energy states or vectors of those centers-of-gravity. This can reveal all sorts of things about the masses of not only the Luna/Terra system, but also the masses of remote objects, etc. Everything's connected by gravity, remember? > -- > Matthew T.
