Sensitivity to lunar cycles prior to the 2007 eruption of Ruapehu volcano [PDF]

, 2017
A long-standing question in Earth Science is the extent to which seismic and volcanic activity can be regulated by tidal stresses, a repeatable and predictable external excitation induced by the Moon-Sun gravitational force.

Space Weathering Properties of Chang’e-6 Soils and Implication for Regolith Evolution of Young Lunar Maria

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Lunar soil samples from young maria (formed 3.0 Ga) and higher than the ∼21% found in the Chang’e-5 soils from younger mare (∼2.0 Ga). However, our spectroscopic study reveals that the Chang’e-6 soils are well developed, with high maturity, weak ...

Properties of Lunar Dust and Their Migration on the Moon

Space: Science & Technology
Lunar dust, the finest fraction of lunar regolith, has undergone important space weathering on the Moon. It not only serves as a record of the evolution of the lunar surface environment and the modification of mineral properties, but also influences the ...

Application of Machine Learning Techniques to Distinguish between Mare, Cryptomare, and Light Plains in Central Lunar South Pole−Aitken Basin

The Planetary Science Journal
We apply machine learning techniques to identify and map resurfacing units in the central South Pole−Aitken (SPA) basin using three Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) mission data sets: 321/415 nm and 566/689 nm band reflectance ratios from Hapke ...

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
