Constraining the evolutionary history of the Moon and the inner solar system: a case for new returned lunar samples
The Moon is the only planetary body other than the Earth for which samples have been
collected in situ by humans and robotic missions and returned to Earth. Scientific …

A melt inclusion study on volatile abundances in the lunar mantle
Earth's Moon was thought to be highly depleted in volatiles due to its formation by a giant
impact. Over the last decade, however, evidence has been found in apatites, lunar volcanic …

Lunar cumulate mantle overturn: a model constrained by ilmenite rheology
Lunar cumulate mantle overturn has been proposed to explain the abundances of TiO2 and
heat‐producing elements (U, Th, and K) in the source region of lunar basalts. Ilmenite …

Origin of the Moon
The Earth–Moon system is unusual in several respects. The Moon is roughly ¼ the radius of
the Earth—a larger satellite-to-planet size ratio than all known satellites other than Pluto's …

Inefficient volatile loss from the Moon-forming disk: Reconciling the giant impact hypothesis and a wet Moon
Abstract The Earth's Moon is thought to have formed from a circumterrestrial disk generated
by a giant impact between the proto-Earth and an impactor approximately 4.5 billion years …
