Open AccessCorrelated compositional and mineralogical investigations at the Chang′e-3 landing site
The chemical compositions of relatively young mare lava flows have implications for the late volcanism on the Moon. Here we report the composition of soil along the rim of a 450-m diameter fresh crater at the ...

A systematic spectroscopic study of four Apollo lunar soils
A systematic spectroscopic study including Raman, Mid-IR, NIR, and VIS-NIR, is used to investigate four endmember lunar soils. Apollo soils (<45 μm) 14163, 15271, 67511, and 71501 were selected as endmembers t...

Non-mare silicic volcanism on the lunar farside at Compton–Belkovich
Non-basaltic volcanism is rare on the Moon. The best known examples occur on the lunar nearside in the compositionally evolved Procellarum KREEP terrane. However, there is an isolated thorium-rich area—the Com...

Water alteration of rocks and soils on Mars at the Spirit rover site in Gusev crater
The cover shows part of the Larry's Lookout panorama, seen from the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) Spirit during its drive up Husband Hill: the summit is about 200 metres from the rover. Six papers this week rep...
