Surges in volcanic activity on the Moon about two billion years ago
Nature Communications, 2023 The history of mare volcanism critically informs the thermal evolution of the Moon. However, young volcanic eruptions are poorly constrained by remote observations and limited samples, hindering an understanding of mare eruption flux over time. The Chang’

Comparative photometric analysis of the Reiner Gamma swirl and Chang’e 5 landing site
, 2023 Context. Lunar swirls are bright albedo features only found on the Moon that are still not entirely understood. It is commonly accepted that reduced space weathering plays a role in explaining the origins of lunar swirls because the local magnetic fields
