Sulfur isotopes from the lunar farside reveal global volatile loss following the giant impact

Abstract The Moon is strongly depleted in volatile elements and exhibits heavier isotopic signatures (e.g., K, Zn) than the Earth. However, the pronounced nearside–farside dichotomy and uneven distribution of volatiles across lunar interior raise the question of whether such heavier isotopic signatu...
