Everywhere is wrote: "The moon's mass is 81.3 times smaller than Earth's".

I have also read that in Newton's time the mass was almost the twice more.

Who and when calculated the new value?

The Moon's mass expressed as a fraction of the Earth's, as you say, is
1/81.3. It is based upon parameters of the orbit of the Moon around
the Earth and also upon assumptions about the structure and
composition of the lunar interior. There's much more in the scientific
literatu
