Extensive Intrusive Magmatism in the Lunar Farside Apollo and South Pole–Aitken Basins, Chang’e-6 Landing Site

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Lunar igneous activities, including intrusive magmatism and extrusive volcanism, and their products contain significant information about the lunar interior and its thermal state. Their distribution is asymmetrical on the nearside and farside, reflecting

Petrogenesis of Chang’e-6 Basalts and Implication for the Young Volcanism on the Lunar Farside

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Mare basalts from lunar farside are pivotal for unraveling lunar nearside-farside dichotomies and global thermal history. The Chang’e-6 (CE-6) mission conducted the first sampling from a young basaltic unit within the Apollo basin on the lunar farside ...

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Mid‐Infrared Compositional Spectral Parameters for the Lunar Thermal Mapper Instrument Onboard Lunar Trailblazer

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The Lunar Trailblazer mission launched in February of 2025 with the goal of characterizing lunar surface water through a targeted campaign. One instrument on the mission, the Lunar Thermal Mapper (LTM), was tasked with measuring the surface temperature to compare with maps of the form and abundance of water on the lunar surface.

The Significance of Multiple Saturation Points in the Context of Polybaric Near-fractional Melting [PDF]

, 2004
Experimental petrologists have successfully located basaltic liquid compositions parental to mid-ocean ridge basalt that are, within experimental resolution, multiply saturated with three-phase harzburgite or four-phase lherzolite assemblages on their ...

Genesis and timing of KREEP-free lunar Mg-suite magmatism indicated by the first norite meteorite Arguin 002

Communications Earth & Environment
There is ongoing debate about whether lunar magnesian suite (Mg-suite) magmatism was a global, nearly synchronous event with a genetic link to potassium, rare-earth element and phosphorus components (KREEP).

Mineralogical Characterization of the Lunar South Polar Region: 2. Exploring Mafic‐Bearing Targets With Optimized Traverse Paths at Mons Kocher

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Several national space agencies and commercial entities are currently targeting the Moon's south polar region for human and robotic exploration. Of particular interest are materials excavated and ejected from the Moon's largest and oldest impact structure, the South Pole‐Aitken Basin (SPA), as these ancient materials are a window into the ...

The mineralogy, petrology, and composition of anomalous eucrite Emmaville [PDF]

, 2017
The Emmaville eucrite is a relatively poorly studied basaltic achondrite with an anomalous oxygen isotope signature. In this study, we report comprehensive mineralogical, petrographic, and geochemical data from Emmaville in order to understand its ...

Tracking Deep Magma Migration Through Diffuse CO2 Degassing: Insights From Piton de la Fournaise Volcano (2013–2023)

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Volcano monitoring requires identifying and distinguishing physico‐chemical processes at various depths within magma plumbing systems and their links to volcanic activity. Long‐term monitoring of deep magma reservoirs, extending down to tens of kilometers, is crucial even though signals from these depths are often altered or attenuated before ...
