IEEE Access, 2020 It is extremely difficult to collect deep lunar soil samples during lunar exploration, as the average thickness of lunar soils is very large, and the power of lunar soil sampling systems is inherently limited.

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 10, Page 2466-2475, October 2026.Abstract Shergottites are the most abundant meteorites from Mars and a major source of information on magma reservoirs, transport, and eruption, particularly in the late Hesperian northern hemisphere. Conflicting interpretations have arisen on the crystallization conditions of pyroxene in olivine‐phyric shergottites.

Lunar impact crater morphological evolution and chronology: A review
地球与行星物理论评Due to the absence of an atmosphere, water, and active tectonic activity, the lunar surface has preserved an intact record of early impact geology in the Solar System, making it a crucial natural laboratory for studying the history of planetary formation

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 10, Page 2567-2591, October 2026.Abstract We report on the petrography and oxygen isotopic compositions from in situ analyses of carbonates (Ca‐carbonate, dolomite, and Fe‐rich magnesite), magnetite, and apatite in particles from asteroid Bennu. Using oxygen isotope thermometry of Ca‐carbonate, dolomite, and magnetite, we estimated crystallization temperatures and the oxygen isotopic ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.Abstract Determining marsquake magnitudes is essential for assessing seismic activity on Mars, yet previous estimates neglect three‐dimensional (3D) scattering effects. The exceptionally long‐lasting coda of the largest recorded marsquake, S1222a, provides a unique opportunity to quantify how crustal heterogeneities affect waveform propagation and ...

Impact Craters Reveal a Deeper Rock‐Poor Regolith in the Lunar Highlands
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.Abstract The only measurements of the highlands regolith occurred at the Apollo 14 and 16 landing sites, finding 10–15 m thick regolith; however, we show that the Apollo landing sites are anomalous due to their proximity to rare, highlands rocky craters and because they landed atop basin ejecta. Through observations of rocky crater populations, we show

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.Abstract Estimating Mercury's radial contraction is key to understanding the planet's geodynamic evolution. Contraction has been inferred from mapped shortening structures, whose heterogeneous distribution contradicts the isotropic contraction expected from global cooling.

Earth and Planetary PhysicsImpact craters are important for understanding the evolution of lunar geologic and surface erosion rates, among other functions. However, the morphological characteristics of these micro impact craters are not obvious and they are numerous, resulting in ...

A New Detailed Global Map of Lunar Light Plains
The Planetary Science JournalLunar light plains (LPs) are globally distributed, smooth and flat geologic units occurring in crater floors and topographic lows, similar in morphology to mare basalts, but with moderate to high albedo.
