Corundum Discovered by SuperCam and the Perseverance Rover at Jezero Crater, Mars

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Mars is primarily composed of mafic mineral assemblages and their alteration products, but small, scattered rocks strewn across the landscape offer clues to greater petrological diversity. While traversing the Jezero crater rim, the Perseverance rover encountered several plagioclase‐rich light‐toned float rocks.

Locating Moonquakes With Single‐Station Seismology

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Renewed international interest in lunar seismometer deployments requires robust single‐station location approach for the highly scattering Moon's crust. We present an event‐location strategy using major lunar event types recorded by the Apollo seismic network. Frequency‐dependent polarization analysis provides P‐wave back‐azimuth and incidence,

Super‐Resolution of Planetary Images Based on Generative Adversarial Network

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Currently, satellite imagery serves as the primary means of observing terrestrial planets such as the Mars, the Moon, and Mercury. Enhancing the resolution and quality of these images can provide more detailed insights into planetary surfaces. However, improvements in image quality are often limited by the constraints of sensor technology and ...
