Abstract The distribution of water in the Moon’s interior carries implications for origin Moon 1 , crystallization lunar magma ocean 2 and duration volcanism . Chang’e-5 mission returned some youngest mare basalt samples reported so far, dated at 2.0 billion years ago (Ga) 3 from northwestern Procellarum KREEP Terrane, providing a probe into spatiotemporal evolution water. Here we report abundances hydrogen isotope compositions apatite ilmenite-hosted melt inclusions basalts. We derive...
Abstract The past two decades of lunar exploration have seen the detection substantial quantities water on Moon’s surface. It has been proposed that a hydrated layer exists at depth in soils, buffering cycle Moon globally. However, reservoir yet to be identified for this layer. Here we report abundance, hydrogen isotope composition and core-to-rim variations measured impact glass beads extracted from soils returned by Chang’e-5 mission. preserve hydration signatures display abundance...
The water contents of the lunar interior record important clues for understanding formation and subsequent thermochemical evolution Moon1. Chang'e-6 (CE6) mission returned samples from South Pole-Aitken impact basin farside2-4, providing an opportunity to study farside mantle. Here we report abundances hydrogen isotope compositions apatite melt inclusions CE6 mare basalt, derived partial melting parent magma basalt is estimated have a abundance 15-168 μg g-1 with δD value -123 ± 167‰. Our...
Chang'e-5 (CE-5) basalt, the youngest lunar basalt sample collected so far, is crucial for unraveling mechanism of prolonged volcanic activity on Moon. To better understand petrogenesis this it necessary to determine its eruption duration accurately. Previous PbPb age measurements have yielded a wide range from 2040 Ma 1963 Ma. This large may be attributed 80 million-year multi-eruption, analytical or interpretational biases different laboratories, disturbances in UPb system. Here, we...
Abstract The distribution of water in the Moon’s interior carries key implications for origin Moon 1 , crystallisation lunar magma ocean 2 and duration volcanism2. Chang’E-5 (CE5) mission returned youngest mare basalt samples, dated at ca. 2.0 billion years ago 3 from northwestern Procellarum KREEP Terrane (PKT), providing a probe into spatio-temporal evolution water. Here we report abundance hydrogen isotope composition apatite ilmenite-hosted melt inclusions CE5 basalts, which derived...
Abstract The last decade of lunar exploration has revealed the presence significant quantities water on Moon’s surface, notably characterised by global retention, release, and replenishment1-9. This led to proposition that a hydrated layer exists at depth in soils, buffering cycle Moon globally9. However, so far no candidate reservoir been identified for this layer. Here, we report abundances, hydrogen isotope compositions, their core rim variations, measured impact glass beads from...
