Fe and Mg Isotope Compositions Indicate a Hybrid Mantle Source for Young Chang’E 5 Mare Basalts
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 The Chang’E 5 (CE-5) samples represent the youngest mare basalt ever known and provide an access into the late lunar evolution. Recent studies have revealed that CE-5 basalts are the most evolved lunar basalts, yet controversy remains over the nature of ...

Review and Revision of the Lunar Cratering Chronology—Lunar Timescale Part 2
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Times and rates of planetary surface-modifying processes are crucial for the sequence and correlation of events on planetary bodies. For most planetary surfaces, superposition principles and crater densities are commonly used methods to collect relative ...

Leto Mission Concept for Green Reconnaissance of the Marius Hills Lunar Pit
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Lava tubes are potentially important sites for the long-term human presence on the Moon because they provide shelter from surface hazards, including micrometeorites, radiation, extreme temperatures, and dust.
