Lithological mapping of Eratosthenes crater region using Moon Mineralogy Mapper of Chandrayaan-1
Kumaresan, P. R.; Saravanavel, J.; Palanivel, K.
Selenological exploration (lunar geology) involves mapping and delineation of different rock types and minerals present in the Moon. Various lunar missions with multi-spectral sensors provided preliminary information about the lithological and mineralogical occurrences on the Moon. The Chandrayaan-1 Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3), provided…
Pyroxene chemistry and crystallization history of basaltic units in the Mare Humorum on the nearside of the Moon: Implications for the volcanic history of the region
Rajesh, V. J.; Thesniya, P. M.
Mare basalts are volcanic features on the lunar surface and are vital for understanding the Moon's volcanic and thermal history. The present study investigates the mineralogy and chemical variations of the mare basaltic units in the Mare Humorum on the Moon's nearside using orbital remote sensing data from recent lunar exploration missions. The pr…
