Space Weathering Properties of Chang’e-6 Soils and Implication for Regolith Evolution of Young Lunar Maria

Space Weathering Properties of Chang’e-6 Soils and Implication for Regolith Evolution of Young Lunar Maria

Lunar soil samples from young maria (formed <3.0 billion years ago (Ga)) preserve key records of recent space weathering history in the Earth–Moon system. China’s Chang’e-6 mission returned the first farside soil samples from a young mare (∼2.8 Ga) at the northeastern South Pole–Aitken basin. We...
