The scientific case for renewed human activities on the Moon [PDF]
, 2004 It is over 30 years since the last human being stood on the lunar surface and this long hiatus in human exploration has been to the detriment of lunar and planetary science. The primary scientific importance of the Moon lies in the record it preserves of

On the survivability and detectability of terrestrial meteorites on the moon [PDF]
, 2008 Materials blasted into space from the surface of early Earth may preserve a unique record of our planet's early surface environment. Armstrong et al. (2002) pointed out that such materials, in the form of terrestrial meteorites, may exist on the Moon and

Analyzing the Magnesium (Mg) Number of Olivine on the Lunar Surface and Its Geological Significance
Remote Sensing, 2019 Olivine formation is directly related to Mg/Fe content. It is also significant in estimating the geological evolution of the moon. In this study, an estimation model of relative Mg number (Fo#) for lunar olivine was presented through multiple linear ...
