| Abstract: | This paper calls attention to the fact that the distribution of grazing impacts on Mars, as described by Schultz and Lutz-Garihan (1982), agrees with the distribution predictable by the theory of planetary axial rotation based on the transmission of mass and angular momentum from a satellite system to its primary (Barricelli, 1972). A few additional implications of the theory are pointed out. |
