Space weathering at the Moon
The Earth is cradled in an atmosphere that burns up small impactors before they reach the
surface, and a magnetosphere that largely shields the surface from solar and cosmic particle …

Compositional maps of the lunar polar regions derived from the Kaguya spectral profiler and the lunar orbiter laser altimeter data
Due to the challenging illumination conditions of the lunar polar regions, mineralogic maps
have generally been constrained to within 0–70 N/S. Here we generate a gridded …
