ABSTRACT The Chang'e-5 (CE-5) mission, the first return of lunar samples to Earth since
the Apollo and Luna missions more than 44 years ago, landed on one of the youngest mare …

The Chinese spacecraft Chang'e-5 (CE-5) landed on the northern Ocean Procellarum and
returned 1,731 grams of regolith. The CE-5 regolith is composed mostly of fragments of …

Lunar impact glasses can provide important information on the bulk compositions of their
sources and the impact history of the Moon. Here, we report the chemical composition of fifty …

Lunar surface chemistry is essential for revealing petrological characteristics to understand
the evolution of the Moon. Existing chemistry mapping from Apollo and Luna returned …

The lunar basalt samples returned by the Chang'e-5 mission erupted about 2.0 billion years
ago during the late period of the Moon's secular cooling. The conditions of mantle melting in …

This study focuses on using the chemical compositions of plagioclase to further investigate
the petrogenesis of Chang'E-5 young mare basalts and constrain its parental melt …

Abstract The Chang'E 5 (CE-5) samples represent the youngest mare basalt ever known
and provide an access into the late lunar evolution. Recent studies have revealed that CE-5 …

The western maria of lunar near-side are widely covered with late-stage mare basalts. Due
to the lack of returned samples, the mineralogy of the late-stage basalts was previously …

Highly evolved lithology distributes across the Moon sparsely but serves as a critical record
of the extensive differentiation processes of lunar magmas. In contrast to the Apollo-returned …

Abstract China's Chang'e‐5 (CE‐5) mission successfully returned a total of 1.731 kg of lunar
material from the north‐eastern Oceanus Procellarum region. Young (∼ 2.0 Ga) ages were …
