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 Moon’s farside shallow subsurface structure unveiled by Chang’E-4 Lunar Penetrating Radar
Science Advances, 2020 The complex stratigraphic structure of the Moon's farside imaged for the first time using subsurface radar. On 3 January 2019, China’s Chang’E-4 (CE-4) successfully landed on the eastern floor of Von Kármán crater within the South Pole–Aitken Basin ...

Global Mapping of Fragmented Rocks on the Moon with a Neural Network: Implications for the Failure Mode of Rocks on Airless Surfaces [PDF]
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Failure modes of lunar boulders depend both on rheology and the erosion agents acting in the lunar surface environment. Here, we address the failure modes of lunar boulders and their variations at a quasi-global scale (60°N to S).

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.

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.

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
