Crater is a geologic structure in solid bodies (including the terrestrial planets, moons, and
asteroids) formed by hyper-speed impact, and the impact process is extremely important to …

A geologic time scale is a chronological system that separates the geological strata of a
planetary body into different units in temporal sequence and shows its progressive …

The morphology of impact craters on the Moon plays an important role in understanding
impact cratering process, surface and subsurface properties, and their evolutions. In this …

Impact craters are the most common feature on the Moon's surface. Crater size–frequency
distributions provide critical insight into the timing of geological events, surface erosion …

The impact crater detection offers a great scientific contribution in analyzing the geological
processes, morphologies and physical properties of the celestial bodies and plays a crucial …

On the Moon, the old anorthositic highland rocks and younger basaltic mare units show
distinguishable differences in appearance. The craters on the lunar highlands and maria …

Impact cratering process is the major geologic activity on the surface of the Moon, and the
spatial distribution and size-frequency distribution of lunar craters are indicative to the …

Abstract The 31 km diameter and 7.5 km deep de Gerlache crater, located 30 km from the
southern pole of the Moon was surveyed. At its bottom a 15 km diameter younger crater can …

Under lunar polar cold traps, volatile molecules within porous regolith may experience
temperature and depth dependent slow mobility. Many degraded lunar craters exhibit thick …

Craters are one of the most prominent features on planetary surfaces, used in applications
such as age estimation, hazard detection, and spacecraft navigation. Crater detection is a …
