High resolution mapping of TiO₂ abundances on the Moon using the Hubble Space Telescope

Pieters, C. M.; Ulmer, M. P.; Bell, J. F. +4 more

Samples of the lunar regolith returned by Apollo astronauts show large variations (0 to >10 wt%) in TiO₂ abundance indicating complex compositional zonation within the lunar mantle. A long held goal of the lunar science community is the accurate determination of TiO₂ abundances on the lunar surface through remote sensing m…
