Investigating the Compositional Heterogeneity of Pure, Crystalline Plagioclase Exposures within the Moon’s Anorthositic Crust Using Moon Mineralogy Mapper and Diviner Data
Questions about the formation of the primary anorthositic crust of the Moon remain unanswered. Spectroscopic surveys of the lunar crust have evidenced the presence of pure, crystalline plagioclase exposures (PCPEs) across the surface, which are assumed to be remnants of the Moon's ancient anort...
