MNRAS, 2019 483, L80, 2018 Each of the giant planets within the Solar System has large moons but none of these moons have their own moons (which we call ${\it submoons}$). By analogy with studies of moons around short-period exoplanets, we investigate the tidal-dynamical stability of submoons.

First observation of the cosmic ray shadow of the Moon and the Sun with KM3NeT/ORCA [PDF]
The European Physical Journal C, 2022 This article reports the first observation of the Moon and the Sun shadows in the sky distribution of cosmic-ray induced muons measured by the KM3NeT/ORCA detector.

Implications of surface roughness in models of water desorption on the Moon [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021 The observed presence of water molecules in the dayside lunar regolith was an unexpected discovery and remains poorly understood. Standard thermophysical models predict temperatures that are too high for adsorbed water to be stable.

Sun vs Moon in the Mythopoetic Picture of the World of the Udmurt Bilingual Poet Vyacheslav Ar-Sergi
Polylinguality and Transcultural Practices, 2023 The Russian-language creativity of national authors is one of the most relevant topics of modern research. The issue of the preserving their identity in a different language field is complex and is ambiguously covered in the scientific literature.

In Situ Geochronology for the Next Decade: Mission Designs for the Moon, Mars, and Vesta [PDF]
The Planetary Science Journal, 2021 Geochronology is an indispensable tool for reconstructing the geologic history of planets, essential to understanding the formation and evolution of our solar system. Bombardment chronology bounds models of solar system dynamics, as well as the timing of

Age and composition of young basalts on the Moon, measured from samples returned by Chang’e-5
Science, 2021 Description Sample return shows late lunar volcanism Measuring physical samples of Solar System bodies in the laboratory provides more information than is possible from remote sensing alone.

Two-billion-year-old volcanism on the Moon from Chang’e-5 basalts
Nature, 2021 The Moon has a magmatic and thermal history that is distinct from that of the terrestrial planets1. Radioisotope dating of lunar samples suggests that most lunar basaltic magmatism ceased by around 2.9–2.8 billion years ago (Ga)2,3, although younger ...

The Planetary Science Journal, 2022 Moderately volatile elements (MVEs) are depleted and isotopically fractionated in the Moon relative to Earth. To understand how the composition of the Moon was established, we calculate the equilibrium and kinetic isotopic fractionation factors ...

The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 The spectrophotometric properties of two study areas in the Ingenii swirl region show that the combined effects of multiple processes are required to explain the regolith’s mineralogical and physical properties.
