The Moon has a magmatic and thermal history that is distinct from that of the terrestrial
planets. Radioisotope dating of lunar samples suggests that most lunar basaltic magmatism …

Lunar meteorites are fragments of consolidated rock that were ejected from the Moon when
it was struck by an impacting asteroid or comet, entered an Earth-crossing orbit, and …

The history of mare volcanism critically informs the thermal evolution of the Moon. However,
young volcanic eruptions are poorly constrained by remote observations and limited …

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 …

Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) is an outstanding technique for Mass Spectral
Imaging (MSI) due to its notable advantages, including high sensitivity, selectivity, and high …

Abstract The U (Pb)-Pb age of zircon is commonly used to represent the crystallization age
for igneous rocks due to its high closure temperature and robust resistance to impact …

Abstract 40 Ar/39 Ar geochronology is one of the most important techniques for constraining
the timing of basaltic events due to the paucity of suitable minerals in basalts for other …

Sulfides are accessory phases in lunar rocks but are important for understanding lunar
interior processes as well as impacts on the lunar surface. Whether or not the lunar mantle …

The regolith samples returned by the Chang'E‐5 mission (CE‐5) contain the youngest
radiometrically dated mare basaltic clasts, which provide an opportunity to elucidate the …

Abstract The Sveconorwegian orogen in Scandinavia and the Grenville orogen in Canada
are both remnants of large and hot orogens that formed part of the supercontinent Rodinia …
