The evolution of the lunar magnetic field can reveal the Moon's interior structure, thermal
history, and surface environment. The mid-to-late-stage evolution of the lunar magnetic field …

Lunar regolith simulants from the NU-LHT series were characterized using different
configurations for performing Raman spectroscopy measurements, including with different …

Impact events have played a crucial role in the formation and evolution of the Moon, as
evidenced by the numerous of impact craters on its surface, indicating a long history …

Rocks of the lunar granulite suite are the product of high‐temperature metamorphism within
the Moon's crust. However, to date, their formation conditions have few constraints. Here, we …

The Raman characterization results of lunar relevant simulants, including liquid water, ice,
and organics using NASA Langley developed standoff ultra-compact micro-Raman (SUCR) …

Abstract High-calcic (~ 95% anorthite) plagioclase is the key mineral comprising the primary
lunar crustal suites that cover over 60% of the Moon's surface. Pristine crystals of similar …

Plagioclase feldspars draw intensive research attention in planetary sciences because of
their abundance in the Martian regolith. Crystal chemical studies on plagioclase feldspars …

Abstract The Stac Fada Member (Stoer Group) is a~ 1.2 Ga melt‐rich impact breccia
preserved and intermittently exposed along the NW coast of Scotland. Using a combination …

Natural shock metamorphism is the physical consequence of hypervelocity impact of a
projectile (eg, asteroids and comets) into solid target rock, sediment, and regolith exposed …

Anorthite (CaO, Al2O3, 2SiO2) is the lime-rich end member of the plagioclase feldspar
series, it is a rare constituent in magmatic and metamorphic rocks. Due to its nontoxicity …
