Abstract This paper considers three hypotheses for the origin of the shapes of the regular elongated prolate and dumbbell-shaped lunar glass globules. These are the break-up of a jet, the vibration-freezing hypothesis and the rotational hypothesis. It is concluded that there are many results favouring the latter hypothesis so that its validity now appears conclusive. Applications of the hypothesis as a tool in lunar science are briefly discussed.
