Analysis of recent data from lunar seismic events shows significant deviations of P- and S-wave travel times from those expected if the lunar interior were homogeneous below the crust. The interpretation of these data results in a lunar model consisting of at least four and possibly five distinguishable zones whose probable characteristics are discussed.
