The internal structure of the Moon, from surface to core, preserves a record of its evolution
from accretion to present-day. The structure of the Moon is unique in the Solar System by …

Granites are nearly absent in the Solar System outside of Earth. Achieving granitic
compositions in magmatic systems requires multi-stage melting and fractionation, which also …

Lunar red spots are small spectrally red features that have been proposed to be the result of
non-mare volcanism. Studies have shown that a number of red spots are silicic, and are …

The Aristarchus plateau, located at the center of Oceanus Procellarum, exhibits one of the
most complex volcanic features on the Moon. To understand the subsurface three …

Mons Gruithuisen is a rare example of nonmare silicic volcanoes on the Moon. We have
conducted analyses of the topography, chemical compositions, and subsurface structures of …

Silicic volcanos with high‐thorium (Th), low FeO and TiO2 contents are rare on the Moon,
but exploring the formation and origins of silicic volcanos can help us to understand the …

The formation mechanisms, extent, and compositions of red spots on the lunar surface have
intrigued the lunar community for decades. By identifying a new dome and another silicic …

Mons Hansteen is a relatively high-albedo, well-known lunar``red spot''located on the
southern margin of Oceanus Procellarum (2.3° S, 50.2° W). It is an arrowhead-shaped (∼ 25 …
