Robust Crater Detection Algorithm Based on Maximum Entropy Threshold Segmentation
International Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2022 For future lunar exploration and planetary missions, the digital elevation model (DEM) of the target object may not be well prepared before the mission, so developing a new robust crater detection algorithm (CDA) without prepared high-precision DEM is ...

Self-Secondaries Formed by Cold Spot Craters on the Moon
Remote Sensing, 2021 Self-secondaries are a population of background secondaries, and they have been observed on top of impact melt and ballistically emplaced ejecta deposits on various planetary bodies.

Detecting an Ocean Inside Callisto With Geodetic Measurements From Europa Clipper and Juice
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.Abstract Determining whether Callisto hosts a subsurface ocean, and the implications for material and energy transport through its hydrosphere, is of high interest to NASA's Europa Clipper and ESA's Juice missions. A recent reanalysis of Galileo magnetometer data strengthens the ocean hypothesis, but definitive confirmation awaits new measurements.

AUTOMATIC DETECTION AND RECOGNITION OF CRATERS BASED ON THE SPECTRAL FEATURES OF LUNAR ROCKS AND MINERALS [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2017 Crater-detection approaches can be divided into four categories: manual recognition, shape-profile fitting algorithms, machine-learning methods and geological information-based analysis using terrain and spectral data.

Large (∼80 km) Shield Volcanoes on the Moon Possibly Fed by Shallow Magma Reservoirs
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.Abstract Large shield volcanoes are among the most prominent volcanic structures on terrestrial bodies. The Moon, while volcanically very active in the past and hosting various volcanic features, seems to lack such large shield volcanoes. Here, we report the identification of two lunar volcanic domes (Prinz‐Harbinger and Theophilus) with diameters ...

Reidite Formation From Zircon Subjected to 20, 40, and 60 GPa Shock Experiments
Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, Volume 57, Issue 8, Page 1392-1406, August 2026.Structure disordering as a result of shock pressure: In zircon shocked from 20 to 60 GPa, the shock‐induced structural disorder increases with increasing shock pressure (gray area). Shock disorder of zircon is an integral part of its transformation to reidite: Reidite occurs after amorphous material.
