    Annotation Questions of the origin and age of the mascons are discussed based on data of the GRAIL and LRO missions. The analysis of the actual data is carried out from the positions of the Galactocentric paradigm, connecting the formation of mascons, large craters and mares with the cyclical bombardment of the Moon by galactic comets. A preliminary conclusion is reached by the fact that most of the mascons on the Moon have a Cenozoic age.
