Lunar rock investigation and tri-aspect characterization of lunar farside regolith by a digital twin

Nature Communications
Yutu-2 rover conducted an exciting expedition on the 41st lunar day to investigate a fin-shaped rock at Longji site (45.44°S, 177.56°E) by extending its locomotion margin on perilous peaks.

Planetary Formation Constrained by Collisions between Millimeter-sized Lunar Particles and Lunar Surface from Chang’E-4 Mission

The Astrophysical Journal
Exploring low-velocity collisions is crucial for unraveling intricate processes in planetary formation, particularly the bouncing barrier that impedes the aggregation of dust into sizable planetesimals.

Impact Dynamics of Moons Within a Planetary Potential

, 2019
Current lunar origin scenarios suggest that Earth's Moon may have resulted from the merger of two (or more) smaller moonlets. Dynamical studies of multiple moons find that these satellite systems are not stable, resulting in moonlet collision or loss of ...
