A New Detailed Global Map of Lunar Light Plains
Lunar light plains (LPs) are globally distributed, smooth and flat geologic units occurring in crater floors and topographic lows, similar in morphology to mare basalts, but with moderate to high albedo. Despite numerous studies investigating LPs, their emplacement mechanism(s), ages, and origins re...
