Global Distribution of Large Lunar Craters: Implications for Resurfacing and Impactor Populations

, 2010
Lunar Reconnaissance The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter reached lunar orbit on 23 June 2009. Global data acquired since then now tell us about the impact history of the Moon and the igneous processes that shaped it.

Lunar ejecta as the missing piece to resolving lunar cratering asymmetry

Astronomy & Astrophysics
The leading-trailing asymmetry in lunar crater distribution provides a critical record of inner Solar System dynamics, yet the long-standing discrepancy between the observed higher asymmetry and lower theoretical predictions indicates a gap in our understanding of the impactor population.

Slope Map between Shackleton and de Gerlache Craters, Lunar South Pole

, 2020
This map is based on data collected by the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) onboard the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). The map shows slopes derived from the LOLA 10-m elevation product (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center; Smith et al., 2010; Smith

Chronology, Local Stratigraphy, and Foreign Ejecta Materials at the Chang'e‐6 Landing Site: Constraints on the Provenance of Samples Returned From the Moon's Farside

Geophysical Research Letters
China's Chang'e‐6 (CE‐6) mission has returned the first‐ever lunar farside samples from a mare plain on the southern Apollo basin floor. The crater statistics of the CE‐6 mare unit and the provenance of the samples are crucial in interpreting the CE‐6 ...

Impact Melt in Small Lunar Highlands Craters

, 2011
Impact-melt deposits are a typical characteristic of complex impact craters, occurring as thick pools on the crater floor, ponds on wall terraces, veneers on the walls, and flows outside and inside the rim.

Orientale Basin as a Guide for Identifying Lunar Basin Datable Impact Melt and Assessing Impact Melt Differentiation

The Planetary Science Journal
Two fundamental questions face lunar scientists: (1) What is the absolute age of each lunar impact basin and thus the early impact flux curve? (2) To what degree did basin impact melt seas undergo differentiation? We compiled a 1:200,000-scale geological
