.... These mineralogical characteristics could be explained by the recent hypothesis that the lunar upper mantle is dominated by low-calcium pyroxene, not olivine. Here, we present observations from imaging and spectral data from China’s Chang’E-4 (CE-4) lunar mission in the first 4 synodic days, especially the first...

In contrast, the lunar regolith in the Von Kármán crater measured by the ground-penetrating radar of the Yutu-2 rover of the Chinese Chang’e-4 mission is rather more homogeneous except for a couple of continuous thin...

...Ziliang Jin; Tong Hou; Meng-Hua Zhu; Yishen Zhang; Olivier Namur Abstract This study investigates silicate liquid immiscibility (SLI) microstructures in the Chang’E-5 (CE-5) lunar ferrobasalt sample, the youngest recovered mare basalt (ca. ∼2.0 Ga). Employing advanced high-resolution imaging...

Yu and Fa (2016) have also analyzed LRO Diviner data and determined similar values. Using a combination of Diviner and Chang’E 2 microwave data, Feng...
