Lunar Elevation and Fission (LEF): a seven-paper series on the origin of the Moon by connected construction and release

A series of seven position papers proposing that the Moon was built from terrestrial material raised to the corotation radius through a connected hydrostatic magmatic column, rather than delivered by a giant impact. Paper 1 states the process in ten steps; Paper 2 computes the co...
