Diverse space weathering effects on asteroid surfaces as inferred via laser irradiation of meteorites

P. Zhang et al.

Summary: The study reveals that long-term micrometeoroid bombardments can cause spectral alteration on different types of asteroids, resulting in darkening and reddening of anhydrous silicate asteroids, brightening and reddening of metal-rich asteroids, and darkening and bluing/brightening and bluing of volatiles-rich carbonaceous asteroids depending on the degree of space weathering. The heterogeneity of space weathering degree can create various spectral units on Ryugu, Bennu, and Phobos.

Rapid screening of Zr-containing particles from Chang'e-5 lunar soil samples for isotope geochronology: Technical roadmap for future study

Jin-Hua Li et al.

Summary: New samples returned by China's Chang'e-5 mission provide an opportunity for studying lunar geologic longevity, space weathering, and regolith evolution. A non-destructive rapid screening method for isotope geochronology of zirconium-containing particles was developed, and a workflow for studying the lunar samples at different scales was proposed. This method and workflow have the potential to be applied in non-destructively screening other types of particles and for different scientific purposes.

Two-billion-year-old volcanism on the Moon from Chang'e-5 basalts

Qiu-Li Li et al.

Summary: The study reports the youngest crystallization age of lunar basalts obtained through radiometric dating, extending the duration of lunar volcanic activity and providing a crucial calibration point for crater-counting chronology in the inner Solar System, shedding light on the volcanic and thermal history of the Moon.

Space weathering of iron sulfides in the lunar surface environment

Toru Matsumoto et al.

Summary: The alteration of iron sulfides on the lunar surface by space weathering remains poorly understood. However, through SEM and TEM observations, it has been determined that the space weathering of iron sulfides may be directly related to solar wind irradiation.

D. L. Laczniak et al.

Summary: The study simulated solar wind irradiation on carbonaceous asteroids through ion irradiation experiments and found that different types of irradiation have varying effects on the chemical composition and structure of the samples, particularly on the organic carbon, water, and oxide content.

Solar energetic particle tracks in lunar samples: A transmission electron microscope calibration and implications for lunar space weathering

Lindsay P. Keller et al.

Summary: Transmission electron microscope (TEM) imaging techniques combined with focused ion beam sample preparation were used to calibrate the solar energetic particle track production rate in lunar samples. Track density measurements revealed a production rate of 4.4 x 10(4) tracks cm^(-2) yr^(-1) in lunar rock exposed for 2 million years. Additionally, the widths of solar wind-damaged rims in anorthite and olivine follow a power law relationship with track density and reach steady-state widths in a few million years.

Comparison of space weathering features in three particles from Itokawa

K. D. Burgess et al.

Summary: The return of samples from S-type asteroid 25143 Itokawa has provided new insights into space weathering on asteroids and the connection between S-type asteroids and ordinary chondrites. This study reports on three new particles and details the space weathering within them, showing consistency with formation via solar wind irradiation rather than micrometeoroid bombardment. Differences in weathering degree between grains collected from different touchdown locations on the asteroid have also been observed. Further analysis of new grains from Itokawa will contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of space weathering features and formation processes on Itokawa and other airless bodies.

Non-KREEP origin for Chang'e-5 basalts in the Procellarum KREEP Terrane

Heng-Ci Tian et al.

Summary: The study of basalt clasts from the PKT returned by Chang'e-5 mission reveals that these two-billion-year-old basalts are not derived from KREEP mantle source, but produced high abundances of rare-earth elements and thorium through low-degree partial melting and extensive fractional crystallization. This suggests that the KREEP association may not be a prerequisite for young mare volcanism, indicating a more sustained cooling history of the lunar interior to generate the Moon's youngest melts.
