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 ...

Latitude Variation of Flux and Impact Angle of Asteroid Collisions with Earth and the Moon
The Planetary Science Journal, 2021 Flux and impact angles were calculated for asteroid collisions with Earth and the Moon, using the latest population models for the distribution of near-Earth objects (NEOs) and precession models to determine the impact probabilities.

The limits of cosmology: role of the Moon [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A, 2020 The lunar surface allows a unique way forward in cosmology, to go beyond current limits. The far side provides an unexcelled radio-quiet environment for probing the dark ages via 21 cm interferometry to seek elusive clues on the nature of the ...

The Geologic History of the Moon
, 2020 More than two decades of study have established the major features of lunar geologic style and history. The most numerous and significant landforms belong to a size-morphology series of simple craters, complex craters, and ringed basins that were formed ...

Primordial Earth mantle heterogeneity caused by the Moon-forming giant impact [PDF]
, 2019 The giant impact hypothesis for Moon formation successfully explains the dynamic properties of the Earth-Moon system but remains challenged by the similarity of isotopic fingerprints of the terrestrial and lunar mantles.

The effect of pre-impact spin on the Moon-forming collision [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 We simulate the hypothesized collision between the proto-Earth and a Mars-sized impactor that created the Moon. Among the resulting debris disc in some impacts, we find a self-gravitating clump of material.
