Petrogenesis of Chang’e-6 Basalts and Implication for the Young Volcanism on the Lunar Farside
The Astrophysical Journal LettersMare 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 ...

Journal of Earth System Science, 2005 Before spacecraft exploration, facts about the Moon were restricted to information about the lunar orbit, angular momentum and density. Speculations about composition and origin were unconstrained. Naked eye and telescope observations revealed two major terrains, the old heavily cratered highlands and the younger mostly circular, lightly cratered maria.
