Why has the Moon no Atmosphere?
Abstract
PROCTOR (``The Moon'', p. 334) says :-`` It has been held, and not without some degree of evidence in favour of the theory, that in our Moon we have a picture of our Earth, as she will be at some far distant date ... when her oceans and atmosphere have disappeared through the action of the same circumstances (whatever they may be) which have caused the Moon to be airless and oceanless''.
