Lunar science: An overview

open access: yesJournal 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.

Orientale Basin as a Guide for Identifying Lunar Basin Datable Impact Melt and Assessing Impact Melt Differentiation

open access: yesThe 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

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

open access: yesThe 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 ...
