Stardust Mine: A 2024 gabbroic shergottite from Arizona, USA

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 1826-1846, August 2026.
Abstract This study provides an initial characterization of Stardust Mine, a fresh gabbroic enriched shergottite collected in Arizona, USA, in September 2024 and is the first Martian meteorite to be unequivocably collected on US soil. Analysis was conducted on the type specimen and finds that Stardust Mine is composed of equal proportions of pyroxene ...

Meteoroid flux at sub-meter scales is homogeneous across the Lunar nearside and farside

Communications Earth & Environment
The spatial heterogeneity of meteoroid impact flux has shaped the space weathering environment across the lunar surface, driving key evolutionary processes such as crater degradation, regolith gardening, and soil grain exposure.

Nanoscale space weathering features in mature lunar soil revealed by TEM and APT

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 2048-2072, August 2026.
Abstract Space weathering significantly alters the optical, chemical, and structural properties of lunar regolith at micro‐ and nanoscales; yet detailed nanoscale variability within individual soils remains underexplored. Here we apply transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atom probe tomography to four mineral grains (olivine, ilmenite, and two ...

Surface Sampling Depth Prediction on the Far Side of the Moon Based on Contact Indentation

Space: Science & Technology
On 2024 June 2, Chang’e 6 landed on the edge of the Apollo Crater on the lunar far side and conducted surface and subsurface sampling. This study used instruments on the lander to determine the mechanical parameters of lunar soil and provide a basis for ...

Research on the Compactness of Lunar Soil Simulant Based on Static Cone Penetration Test

Applied Sciences
The shear strength and bearing characteristics of lunar soil have a strong connection with its compactness. The compactness varies significantly with depth and has an important effect on engineering activities on the lunar surface.

Nanophase Fe0 in lunar soils

Journal of Earth System Science, 2005
Back scattered electron and transmission electron imaging of lunar soil grains reveal an abundance of submicrometer-sized pure Fe0 globules that occur in the rinds of many soil grains and in the submillimeter sized vesicular glass-cemented grains called agglutinates. Grain rinds are amorphous silicates that were deposited on grains exposed at the lunar
