Analysis of Surface Age Dating Techniques and Uncertainties through Comparison of Independently Determined Crater Size–Frequency Distributions at Two Lunar Landing Sites

The Planetary Science Journal
This study compares differences in crater-count-based measurement techniques and determines lava flow ages for geologic context at two NASA Commercial Lunar Payloads Services (CLPS) landing sites.

Shock Metamorphism of Lunar Minerals

Space: Science & Technology
Impact events have played a crucial role in the formation and evolution of the Moon, as evidenced by the numerous of impact craters on its surface, indicating a long history spanning over 4 billion years characterized by numerous such occurrences. As the

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.

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 ...

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
