A terrestrial perspective on usingex situshocked zircons to date lunar impacts

open access: yesGeology, 2015
Deformed lunar zircons yielding U-Pb ages from 4333 Ma to 1407 Ma have been interpreted as dating discrete impacts on the Moon. However, the cause of age resetting in lunar zircons is equivocal; as ex situ grains in breccias, they lack lithologic context

IAU374: Lunar Impact Events by Sharjah Lunar Impact Observatory (SLIO) in 2020

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2023
Abstract Sharjah Lunar Impact Observatory (SLIO), established in 2020, is known to be the only observatory in the Middle East and North Africa region that fully focuses on lunar impact observation and analysis. The Observatory is located inside the cosmic garden of the Sharjah Academy for Astronomy, Space Sciences

Glazed Lunar Rocks: Origin by Impact

Science, 1971
The glassy coating of lunar rock 12017 is enriched in 15 trace elements relative to the crystalline interior. It apparently consists chiefly of shock-melted rock, somewhat richer in rare earth elements and alkali metals than rock 12017 itself. The glass has been contaminated by about 0.5 percent carbonaceous-chondrite-like material or, alternatively ...

Impact Metamorphism of Lunar Surface Materials

Science, 1970
Silicate grains from Tranquillity Base have shock-induced features ranging from internal fragmentation through complete disruption of the lattice to thermal melting. Half the crystalline grains with diameters less than 125 micrometers have features of shock equivalent to those produced in the laboratory at pressures greater than about 40 kilobars.

Preparing for a lunar impact

ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics, 2011
A two-ton Atlas Centaur rocket body, part of the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS), struck the floor of Cabeus crater, near the south pole of the Moon, at 11:31 UT on October 9, 2009. The purpose of the crash was to create a plume of debris that could be examined for the presence of water and other chemicals in the lunar regolith.

Ages of lunar impact breccias

Applied Geochemistry, 2020
Since the Apollo 14 mission delivered samples of the Fra Mauro formation, interpreted as ejecta of the Imbrium impact, defining the age of this impact has emerged as one of the critical tasks required for the complete understanding of the asteroid bombardment history of the Moon and, by extension, the inner Solar System. Significant effort dedicated to

The potential 2024YR4 lunar impact and implications for lunar impact flash observations

IntroductionThe Earth-crossing asteroid, 2024YR4, was identified in late 2024 and at its peak was rated a 3 on the Torino scale as a potentially hazardous Earth-impactor. While over 450 subsequent observations confirmed the asteroid would not impact the Earth, the current uncertainty in its trajectory gives an ≈3.5% chance for the asteroid to instead ...
