Sodium Atoms in the Lunar Exotail: Observed Velocity and Spatial Distributions [PDF]
, 2011 The lunar sodium tail extends long distances due to radiation pressure on sodium atoms in the lunar exosphere. Our earlier observations measured the average radial velocity of sodium atoms moving down the lunar tail beyond Earth (i.e., near the anti ...

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF LUNAR ROUGHNESS FROM MULTI - SOURCE DATA [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2017 The lunar terrain can show its collision and volcanic history. The lunar surface roughness can give a deep indication of the effects of lunar surface magma, sedimentation and uplift. This paper aims to get different information from the roughness through
